Should Teens Who Murder Be Executed

Teen’s execution

Should Teens Who Murder Be Executed? Teen Crime in America is on the up rise. In 1992, juvenile courts handled 2,500 criminal homicides and over a million cases of lesser crimes. According to research, several disadvantages exist for teens who murder being executed. However, for the purpose of this essay we will investigate the following: (1) community’s (2) parent’s supervision; (3) criminal justice system. The execution is based on the teen’s case of how bad or how it has affected the people around the case. First, community’s is where most teenagers are reported to commit crime due to consuming alcohol, running away, and violating curfew in the community. However, this is more likely where crime ends up taking place. Low recreational activities and law enforcement in community can also result in high crime rate. Young teens hanging with older criminals in the area can also affect crime rate. Mostly making older criminals have a strong amount of peer pressure on young adults. Older criminal look at younger people because they know if they are caught in the act of a crime a teen is liable to take the charge and get less time than an adult will receive if punished. The number of youths arrested in communities for murder, robbery, rape, and assault has leaped 254% since 1960. Parent’s supervision is not always there for the teen. How many times have you seen someone and heard a teen arguing with their parent saying, “Why are you treating me like such a kid?” We all know teens want to be treated like adults when it comes to responsibilities and freedoms, but when it comes to facing the consequences of their actions when they do something bad, including murder, they don’t want to take them. Teens want to be treated like adults. When a kid is able to take out a gun, point it at someone innocent, and pull the trigger, they should be able to suffer the same consequences as an adult. Teens need to be held accountable for what they are doing; they know they can get a free ride until they turn 18 with only a little bit of community service. Teens over the age of 14 should be held accountable for their actions with the death penalty. Criminal justice systems handle cases according on a book of law. A time sentence is based on the judge’s decision of punishment from a scale of minimum to maximum time on a charge of murder. For example, different states and countries have different punishments for murder. In America a person who commits murder is mainly sentence life in prison and sometimes even executed. Kids no longer have a free ride until they turn 18. A suspect like Lee Ping was executed for the murder of his family members. Lee Ping as we read in his file that he was convicted of stealing, rape, and illegal drugs trade. As a child the parents were never there for him. Concluding that he had hung out with other criminals and was peer pressured to do crimes. Thus has caused a crime which he is now executed for by torture. Another suspect is an 18 year old Cameron Kocher shot and killed a 7 year old girl who was sleighing. The DA wanted him tried as an adult, which he was pleaded as an adult. Cameron pleads guilty and was executed the day after by injection of poison. Last suspect Kim Young a 14 year old caught stealing and panic. She had shot the clerk and he died instantly from multiple shots to the heart. She was pleaded guilty and trialed as an adult. She was executed in the electric chair. I know that other people will say no to execution, but look at what they have done. They’ve killed innocent people that had never done anything to hurt a fly. It’s a risk but with hooligans like them running around the streets, the people will get hurt, vandalize, or even worse killed. I mean the teen action comes with consequences. So killing an innocent life is like giving an eye for an eye. Everything matters in life from the day we born till the day we die. The choices you make in life are what make your future.
