The often targeted entertainers, video game developers, teachers, drug companies, and writers are rarely, if ever, responsible for such tragic outcomes and, unfortunately, often become victims as a result of lawsuits filed in an attempt to place blame on them. The parents of dangerous children must be scrutinized and sued alongside every other entity being blamed for the heinous crimes that children commit.

    In today’s society there is a lot of crime going on that involves minors and the first thing that some people do is blame parents for the misbehavior. What if the minor lives in the home with an alcoholic mom, and a drug addict father, and the minor feels as though he/she is in the world alone.

  • Prosecuting Juveniles as an Adult

    Multiple surveys have proven that 65% of the most ridiculous mistakes made by an adult were made in their teenage years. Adolescents are known to make mistakes, but when punished correctly, instead of repeating, they learn. Most people believe the harsher the punishment the less likely a child will act out again, but through research and analysis of the brain this was proven to not be true. When a teenager goes as far as committing a crime, judgement should still be based on the fact that he or she is still a minor. As a juvenile, doing something wrong , no matter the severity, should be resulted in a punishment that requires them to learn from their mistakes. Charging them as an adult does not have the same effect as sending away an adult to do jail time.

    Even though there is a fear of getting caught, this is what artist usually consider the very core of graffiti culture. Many critics have argued that graffiti is vandalism and should be removed. However, “someone painted over your house and, of course, you’re not too happy about it. No one has the right to do that without your permission and, without even looking at it, you can pronounce it vandalism. But would you feel the same way if you saw a really breathtaking piece of graffiti art on an otherwise dull wall in the city?” (Kordic). Yes, by definition, graffiti is “an action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property”, And we can not really argue that graffiti often ends up someone’s walls, we do have to think about if it really is “destruction”, and if, perhaps, we have been asking the wrong question the whole

  • Juvenile Motives for Murder

    547 Words  | 2 Pages

    To me a child's reasoning makes sense, if I can get away with a crime once why not try it again or better yet, something of a higher extent. Kids are arrested for assault or robbery and are let go after a slap on the hand. This I believe makes them think they can solve their problems by illegal and cruel acts. Looking into this deeper there is still no explanation for what caused this way of life to begin with. Most say what people say every time we are talking about youth: How were they raised? As Barry Siegel calls it, "A long history of Anti-social behavior," causes dysfunction in youth. (Siegel 1) Was there lack of attention due to a parent working two jobs, or maybe staying out all night at the bar? Is this what causes these latchkey children which turn into criminals? This might be one answer, but it certainly does not apply to all youngsters who are in trouble.

  • Juvenile Crimes

    According to the law, children ages 7-15 legally do not know what is wrong or what is right to do. Children who do not know what is wrong or right can commit a crime without knowing how bad the consequences can be. Immature children do not know most factors the way regular human beings know and can commit more errors by accident than other human beings will commit on purpose. Immature children should not be sentenced to life because they rarely know the rules of life and unlike most adults; they do not know what is good or bad about it. For example, “juveniles are different from adults in terms of brain development and maturity levels” (Corrington 1). Crimes children or immatures can commit include killing someone in a fight, choking someone out, or running over someone by accident. Arguments can also build in by saying teenagers should get sentenced to life for being immature and doing things immaturely. If a young teenager runs over another teenager or children and kills them, of course the parents are going to want the responsible driver to pay for what they have done. Sometimes jail is not enough and the parents or family members of victims want to kill whoever was responsible for the disgrace that happened. A big percentage of people do not understand that young children do not know what adults are capable of doing if it was
