Young people commit crimes should be treated in the same as adults who commit crimes. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Many people think that youngsters should be treated equally as adults when they break the laws. I completely disagree with this opinion as I think different levels of punishments should be imposed among wrongdoers.
There are some reasons why the government may follow policies which are soft on crime when young people commit an offence. Firstly, pre-matured offenders are sometimes not aware of how serious their crimes are. They may not be well-equipped with legislation knowledge so that they do not think their behaviours are wrong. Secondly, the youngsters are often incited to break the laws by other criminals. For example, students easily turn to drugs when they are enticed by their classmates. As a result, proper education is encouraged to reduce the percentage of young people’s misconducts and punishments on inexperienced offenders may be different from wrongdoers for the second time.
Apart from the above explanations, I believe that when adults embark on a life of crime, they are totally aware of the consequences they may suffer. However, as the benefits when breaking the laws are too appealing for criminals to commit a crime. For instance, drug traffic-king will bring offenders billions of dollars which they can never make by doing legal business. If they choose to take risk, they should be given strict sentences as a pay-back for their illegal actions. In addition, behaviours of the adults will have tremendous impact on educating the young generation and maintaining social orders. Therefore, a policy of zero tolerance should be applied on experienced people who are well aware of the law but try to find numbers of ways to break it.
In conclusion, I strongly think that different sentences should be given to young and matured wrongdoers based on their awareness and intention to commit an offence.Attachments:
