Juveniles should be treated:
  • A juvenile is a person below the age of 17 years who is unfortunately involved activities that are in criminal and anti social.
  • Juveniles should be treated differently because:
  • Children cannot intentionally commit a crime because psychologically they aren’t developed enough to distinguish between right and wrong. 
  • Trying juveniles as criminals affects their psyche.
  • Instead they should be rehabilitated and counselled. 
  • Juveniles have a right to a future, and therefore, they should be given a chance to learn from their mistakes.
  • Responsible people should help them realise their faults and encourage to overcome their flaws.
 
Juveniles should be tried as adults:
  • A juvenile delinquent should be tried as an adult as punishment acts as deterrent to crime.
  • Juveniles are sane enough to differentiate between good and bad.
  • Therefore, children can commit crimes as they have decided to choose the wrong path.
  • Instead of rehabilitation, they should be tried as adults and given punishment so that other children don’t commit such shameful acts.
  • Juveniles are a threat to the society as they can easily corrupt other children in their group.
  • The physical and mental maturity of a child should be tested and he or she should be punished accordingly.
