Children, and anybody in general can be reformed. Children are especially easier to become reformed because they haven't experienced as much things that would turn them rigid. It's all about choice. If the young criminal can come to terms with what they did, and be able to want to change, then they will. The process of becoming reformed will also need a lot of guidance and support. As long as the offender is able to accept that they need to change, reformation will happen

Yes, I do believe that young criminals can be reformed. They decided to take the risk and did what they did and they need to serve the consequence for their actions. Next time they need to think before they act.

I think when your young and you do a crime you should be given a chance to learn from it

yes when you are young it is possible to persuade you into being a better person so i believe someone can shape those kids into better people before they make a huge mistake and ruin their lives forever

Yes, I believe that young criminals can be reformed. This can happen by helping them believe that there’s a chance to help better themselves. Kids often have behavior issues because of what they’ve been through in the past, so therefore there should be a way for them to make a change.

I depends on the type of person they are. If I was to hurt someone and go to jail I probably wouldn´t change at the fact that jail will change a person. If you are younger you basically absorb the things that go around you making it harder and harder for young people to reform completely. But that is not the case for everyone there are some people who can make a full 360 and change their lives in jail and come out being a better person when they went in. SO YEAAAAAAAAAAH DUUUUUUUDEE.

There is a chance for every one to change for the better, it takes encouargement, they have to want to change. People have to make it apparent that life can get better and change for the better. Younger children were not born criminals, they need good role models and to be surrounded by people who want a better change in the world.

yes i believe that young criminals acan reformed. children are underdeveloped and often don't think through their actions and the lasting consequences. a child will do something they think is cool and interesting just because they're friends are doing it without a second thought. when a child does a serious crime there is often very little planning or forethought they just do it. punishing a child for something they barely understand and probably didn't think through is ludacris. then there is the matter of children who are being raised in homes where they often witness this type of behavior. these children watch the adults and influencers around them engaging in criminal behavior and then like all children follow suit. to blame these children solely for their actions would be taking the accountability from their parent and/or guardian responsible for raising and teaching them. is it fair to blame a child who has only known crime for committing one?  i do believe however that a child who has committed a particularly harsh crime should be incarcerated in a mental health institution rather than an adult reformatory institutions. children who commit particularly violent and deadly crimes should be deemed dangerous and need mental help not punishment.

Yes, I believe that young criminals can be reformed because they chose to do what they did and they need to deal with the consequences.

Young children can be reformed because they are not yet adults yet and have the opportunity to change.

Yes I believe young kids can be reformed if the kid get's arrested and put in jail for. The kid can learn from his mistake and when he or she is released, they can make sure that they won't make the same mistake again if he or she chooses so. However, not all kids are willing to do that. Jails will need to make sure that the child mind get's messed up when doing their jail time and that they're guided so that they are a better person when they come back to the real world.

Yes I believe that young criminals can be reformed. Their decisions are rash and aren't thought through. Solitary confinement has been proven to be worse for a criminal than normal jail time. The quietness of the room, and the loneliness all damage the convicts mind. This isn't good for a young person's mind. It damages their ability to think and act in social situations. The person also needs to desire to change. If they truly believe that what they did was wrong, and they want truly want to be forgiven, then they should be helped in changing.

I feel that children can be reformed. In my eyes everyone deserves a second chance to right their wrongs. Some people just blow their lives away thinking they can get away with anything. Others, others can change their lives deciding that what they did was not worth the punishment they recieved

They need love, support, and opportunities. If you allow them to have a second chance then they can turn around. I also believe that some children won't change with all the help they get. They may believe what they did was correct and continue on with their wrongdoings. It's a hit or miss situation.

yes and no do i think children can be reforemed.people can change but sometimes people don´t want to change because of certain reasons or events that happed to them.some kids don´t grow up with a family so therefore they turn to stuff that´s bad.in my opinion what they do or what there family does sets the path for them to follow now its up to them to either follow that path or create a new one.hopefully the follow a good path.now if the follow a wrong path its up to us to change there ways hopefully we can it just takes time they need to realize that if they are willing they can change.

young criminals can be reformed however some people don't change as easily. Depending on their situation, they may need a more harsh punishment to change their behavior. They may also need to look at other grown up criminals and realize how bed their live may end up if they continue this behavior.

If the children are given the chance to think and really realize their mistakes they can chnae them if needed. Others that dont really dont care might not want to, which is all up to them. So some may need some guidance in the right direction, others may just want to keep making the same mistakes. It all depends on the person.

Yes i think children can change if they are given a second chance most children will realize what they did wrong knowing

Some young criminals can be reformed. Not all can change although, because some people just have a bad mindset. I feel as if young criminals who didnt do much of a big crime involved in killing multiple people should get a second chance at life. Most teens are stubborn and they dont understand that they have to accept the concept of everyone being different and you cant just harm people.

Juveniles are all different and need different punishments. Some kids can't learn their lesson simply by rehab or community service and need harsher punishment. Some will learn simply by service or rehab because they realize that this is the consequence they will get and if they don't stop then it will get worse. Some kids don't care, so they will get the harsher punishments. Nobody can understand what goes on in every kid's head so judging what punishment is hard to give. And it's hard to determine if they will reform as everyone's different. -Kayleigh

Young criminals can be reformed because they are young and still have a few years to change their life around. They should be put in a rehab program to hopefully change their mind and how they act. Being put into a rehab program actually gives them a chance to change .Unlike an adult prison/jail they will just server the time and hopefully be a changed person when they are released. But in rehab they have a much higher chance of becoming a changed person and move on in there life.

Young criminals can be reformed they shouldn't be serving sentences in adult prisons when they are not adults instead we should be trying to reform them and turn their life away from crime. Cases such as Hernan Carvente show that people can change. These under age criminals can change and make something good with their lives. If we just teach and mentor these people their lives can become better. Joshua Neary
