A crime is a crime, wheter it is done intentionnaly or accidently it still is a crime. Juvenile crimes have been presented always. There has been a lot of contraversey about a Juvenile commiting a servere crime should suffer life sentenced in prison. Age shouldn’t be a factor when a crime is commited, a crime has been done and there must be consequences to take. Life sentenced is appropiate based on Mental Instability, Age and Damange that person could have caused to family, friends and loved ones.
Mental Instability:
Mental Instability can be present in a crime. Wheter that person has brain damage or has suffered many traumatic situations growing up, shouldn’t impead the reduction of life sentenced. Crime has been commited if Mental problems are involved the best decision should be putting in that person in a Mental Instability facility for treatment. That person shouldn’t be set free or reduced punishment just cause of that factor. It puts in danger the society that we live in.
Age: …show more content…
Age shouldn’t be a factor of reduction of punishment.
Wether a person is 13 years of age and has commited a serve crime isn’t different than a 50 year old commiting the same crime. Damage has been done to the society and the safety of people. However; people state that a 13 year-old hasn’t developed fully to know what’s right to wrong. But does that also apply to a 50 year old? They also have commited the same crime. Should there punishment also be reduced because they haven’t fully matured? It is a pretty absurd statement. Age shouldn’t reduce the punishment of a juvenile. A crime has been commited and there are punishments for those
actions.
Damage to family, friends and Loved ones.
Most of the people who encountered situations in where a Juvenile has commited a crime think they shouldn’t be sentenced to life. But that person who simply reads articles or see’s it on the news, don’t know how the family feels about lossing one of their loved ones. The damage that person has caused to a family member is something that can not be explained unless someone has suffered something similar. Life sentence is approiate for the situation and doesn’t violate the 8th Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Conclusion:
Life sentece to a juvenile is appropiate when he/she has taken a persons life away. Jail maybe can change that persons way of viewing life. But not the way how the society view him. People may say that a few years in jail is the correct, that it will change that person. But a person wouldn’t feel comfortable if there neighbor is a criminal. It would put in danger the society wheter that person has changed or still remains the same we shall never know. A person wants the best for themselves and having an ex-criminal as there neighborh isn’t the right path, the insecurity the shall face. Life sentence in jail is appropiate when facing these kind of situations. There is a punishment for everything you do incorrectly in life.
