    In my own opinion‚ those teens who the world calls our “Young adults” is crap.

Depending on the crime that a minor has committed‚ a jury or judge should choose to try the person as an adult. For example‚ Lionel Tate‚ who was twelve‚ beat a 6 year old

    Crime is a major part of our society in many different ways. It allows us to lower the human population and put away the people who decide to be deviant. Although in the long run these can be good things crime also allows people to label each other in ways that wouldn’t have happened if crime was non-existent.
