    60% of the children in juvenile are awaiting trial. I find it interesting that a child as young as 6 years old can go to juvenile and a child as young as 16 be tried as an adult in court and sent away to prison. Some of the crimes these young children commit should not be committed. Majority of the crimes happen because they rather are in juvenile detention centers rather than home. They find the detention centers more like comfort zones. What can we do as a community to stop these crimes from happening

Other composers also set their own agenda‚ and these biases cannot be overlooked.For example‚ in the Trials of Oz Robertson exercises supreme authority to decide who is guilty or innocent. He uses language to describe the defendants as “honest young men” and to characterise Oz as a “harmless coffee-table magazine for the revolution that would never happen”
