1. A juvenile is a young person. Synonyms include underaged, young adult, and inexperienced.
2. A juvenile is still under the age of 18 which means they have a guardian that is in charge of them. For the most part they haven't fully experienced life as an adult. Where as an adult is their own "boss" and has real responsibilities.
3. Juvenile: immaturity, lack of experience in life’s issue, adaptation to different surroundings, like moving out of parents home, lack of making a budget, and known for being arrogant, they have an understanding of what is good and bad, but still make poor choices.

Synonyms: Young kid, Immature, Undeveloped, Young Adult.
2. The difference between an Adult and a Juvenile is that court indicates that juvenile offenders are often treated more leniently because there is a strong inclination to rehabilitate instead of merely to punish them. And adults are punished for their crimes.
3. Some qualities to describe a Juvenile is they are immature, childish , stubborn, care free.

1) Well the crime will appear on any type of background check you submit to for employment, school, volunteer opportunities or internships. Also you might wind up losing your driver’s license for a prolonged period. Which can prevent you from being able to get to work, school, the doctor’s office and many other places. Convicted criminals still have their rights to have a trial even though they can still be in prison.

2) Different cultures do define "Juveniles" differently for example with age. Different cultures can view crimes they've committed in different ways depending on their beliefs. Or it could depend on the views that your family have.

1. A long term consequence from being convicted for a crime could be that you have a changed mindset and now could be involved in a gang, or they could have a struggle when being reintroduced into "regular society". Convicted criminals still have rights even though they are in prison, they are still humans. They can have another trial because, everyone deserves a second chance for a retrial or double jeopardy.
2. Different cultures do define juveniles differently because in certain countries, children are already considered adults but the age of 13, 14, or even 15. Different cultures view crimes the same but the outcome sentence would be different due to the type of crime being committed.

1. Being convicted of a crime can have not only short-term effects,  but long-term as well. Not only do you go to prison, but finding a job while being convicted of a crime can be extremely difficult. Depending on the state, felons can either keep, regain, or completely lose their right to vote, and lose child custody.  Most rights are given back once released from jail.

2. Depending on what cultures we’re talking about I’d say they view not only crimes differently but the consequences to those crimes differently as well. Different cultures view crimes they've committed in different ways. This is because of their different beliefs in life.

1. According to greenspunlaw.com, some long term consequences include; difficulty to find employment, apply for loans, applying to rent a house, voting restrictions, immigration status, travel limitations, security clearance, and custody of a child.

Some criminals are stripped of certain rights depending on where you live.

Defendants can seek new trials if they wish, but judges often do not approve them.

2. Who is considered a juvenile depends on where you are and your environment, in some countries, you are considered an adult at younger ages rather than if you were in the US.

Some cultures have different views on the crimes they commit. For example in some areas of the world, the actions we consider "crimes" could be the norm there.

1) Long-term consequences of being convicted of a crime, would consist of mental health issues. Being locked up for so long can have detrimental physiological effects on the human mind. We are social creatures, that simply should not be isolated. Convicted criminals technically have rights but loose a lot of their rights to freedom.  They can call for another trail under special conditions such as new evidence showing up. A long term consequence of being convicted of a crime is that when you get out it will be hard to find a job because most employers don't want to hire a convicted criminal
2) Different cultures have quite a different view on juveniles.
For example, typical white people view juveniles as delinquents, while other races might view them as mis-understood
In the grand scheme of things the a crime is still a crime, but people will take it lighter than others

1. A long term consequence of being convicted of a crime is life in prison, your record will be marked forever, hard to get jobs, and mentally having to go day to day trying not to involve your past . After prison convicted criminals  do have rights , but it also depends on the crime committed . They can also earn there rights back if they have that option .  A person who is convicted may request another trial if they can present new evidence or if any evidence  comes up .
2. We believe they do and don't because in different households and family they might treat you maturely or with a different attitude but in court they don't consider that . We think that it does not matter the culture but the person and his/hers mindset.

2. Should juveniles be treated the same way as adults if they commit the same crimes? Use “tried as an adult” in your answer.

3. Do you agree that teenagers often act on impulse? Use the word “impulsive.”

4. How is technology helping us understand the teenage brain?

5. What factors do you think juries should take into account when they sentence juveniles?

6. Do you agree with Lundstrom that it is inconsistent to deny privileges like voting and drinking to teenagers but then to sentence them as adults? Why?

7. Do you think juveniles should be sentenced to life in prison if they commit especially bad crimes? Use the word “heinous” in your answer.

8.  Do you agree with Lundstrom that the media perpetuates the stereotype of violent youths? Use “perpetuate” in your answer.

While juveniles are a tricky subject to normalize a punishment for, the sentence to life in prison should not be an immediate response. Each charge should be on a case by case basis, unless there is an obvious choice for particularly heinous crimes. If a crime is extreme, then the sentencing to life in prison should be used, unless determined otherwise.

Q. Should juveniles be treated the same way as adults if they commit the same crimes? Use “tried as an adult” in your answer.
A. I think that Juveniles who commit the same crime as an adult they should be tried as an adult but having in mind their background.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Juveniles should be tried as an adult because they know what happens if you pull the trigger or if hurt someone really bad. But if you are going to put a child on trial then you should look at their childhood and see how they grew up if they grown up seeing people die next to them then that's where things change.

Yes, juror should most definitely consider their age of the defendant because their age will help them detriment the mind set these juvenile have during that time and their thinking process. I don't think it's a far battle for kids to be tried as an adults, first off kids are not even allowed to do anything that adults can do. So if we don't true them to have the access as adults, then why are we so quick to say them adults after a crime. It's like we never seen or tried them as adults, but now there seen twice their age for seem reason after committing a crime.

Thompson “Startling Finds on Teenage Brains”

Jenkins “On Punishment and Teen Killers”

Garinger “Juveniles Don’t Deserve Life Sentences”

1. “That actual science (about teenage brain development) does not… in any way negate criminal culpability.”   - Jennifer Jenkins

What would Thompson say to Jenkins?

2. “Young people… cannot held accountable to the same standards when they commit terrible wrongs.”   - Gail Garinger

What would Lundstrom say to Garinger?

3. “Do the studies [on brain development] help explain the impulsive, erratic behavior of teens?” - Paul Thompson

How would Jenkins answer Thompson’s question?

4. “Teens are being tried and sentenced to prison for murder at alarming rates in the United States.” - Jennifer Bishop Jenkins

How would Garinger respond to Jenkins’s assertion?

5. “But the zeal to corral wildly troubled, ever-younger kids and ram them through the adult system belies everything that the juvenile justice system is all about: that kids are different.”  - Marjie Lundstrom

If you committed a serious crime, do you think it would be fair for you to be punished the same way as an adult who committed the same crime?

How have your views changed or developed? What is your position now?

1) Thompson would say yes, that the study seem to sound like it will not negate criminal culpability. But would gave you a reason that it's more than just action it's more deeper then that, tells and show us that their is actually difference between child and adult, and they most definitely should be tried the same.
2) They should not be held to the same standard when commit terrible crimes. But they did commit it and they cant get off so easy. They need to pay the time for their doings.
3) In way it kind explain to certain extent because if it was really real it will have to apply to every kid and it doesn't.
4) Garinger would say they don't deserve to be sentences to life. Because you are only looking at the crime commuted, you need to look at all the aspects  and realized a child is still learning.
5) You are not even taking the moment to realize how much this kids are capable to do. It's only about poor kids, they have to be in prison for life.

If I committed a serious crime I would accept the consequenses. I knew what was right and wrong and if I still decided to do wrong then I should accept what comes with that .
My view has not changed , I still agree that if a juvinile commit a serious crime they should assume all consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Thompson would agree that science does not decrease criminal culpability but he will prove that science can help us find a way to fix this solution by listing some reasons

2.Lundstorm would agree with Garinger because they both agree on the same topic

3. I think that Jenkins will say that the studies do not explain the erratic behavior of teenagers

4.Garinger will probably agree with Jenkins assertion but probably add on that they should fix the problem and help these kids get better

5. I think that Jenkins would agree with Lundstorm since they both agree with one another that children are not adults.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Sure you may think that science doesn't take part in what happens to teens, but in reality, during the teenage years, there is a massive loss in brain tissue. You could see it in every teen.

2. Yes, you are correct, we can't hold them accountable because if you really think about it, there is a lot that we use to count them as kids, but when they commit a crime, we are more eager to call them adults.

3. While the science aspect may or may not play a role in their behavior, in America we have a problem where weapons are easily available to youth, and we raise them in a violence-loving culture, which also plays a major role in why they may act that way.

4. While there may be a lot of juveniles being punished out there, there has actually been a decline in violent juvenile crimes since the beginning of the mid 1990s.

5. Kids are not different, just like adults they plan murders for months, very carefully and in private. They don't act on peer pressure or impulse.

1. I think Thompson would completely disagree with her and bring up multiple reasons why the brain does affect kids.
2. I think they would agree with one another and just support each others facts.

# data[].attributes.body
Since I am of legal age, whether or not I commit a crime, I will be tried as an adult. Although, if I were a juvenile, I would still think that I should be tried as an adult, because I do know the difference between right and wrong, and if I commit a crime, then I must've really wanted to.

My position has stayed the same throughout, but has opened my mind to other people's stories and circumstances.

If I were to commit a serious crime, I think it would be fair to be punished the same way as an adults, because crime is crime and there is no other way around it.
My view has not changed at all, I still believed that juveniles who commits a serious crime should accept all the consequences.

If i were to commit a serious crime, i think the punishment should be similar to the adults but not as intense considering we are still children.

No, My views have not changed, I still stand by the action of children getting tried as adults for serious crimes.

# data[].attributes.body
I would take responsibly for my acting if I committed a serious crime. I believe I'm at a point where I mostly know right from wrong so whatever crime committed I believe I would've known the consciences.

I don't think my views have changed much but I believe more in the different circumstance in each situation.

# data[].attributes.body
If I committed a crime I would just accept being trailed as an adult. I should have the mental capacity to understand that what I did is wrong.

My views have skewed slightly towards being more lenient toward children that are younger / under 15 & or have a disability.

# data[].attributes.body
I think if I were to commit a serious crime, I should be tried as a adult and be sentenced as a adult depending on the crime.

My views i wouldnt say changed, more so they became somewhat more educated on how although teen brains are less developed, the actions they make are still crimes, regardless of age so my thinking is not changed as to the charges that should be made.

# data[].attributes.body
If I committed a serious crime I think that I should be punished but not to the same extent adults are because I'm technically not an adult yet.

My views have not changed but they have developed after learning more about how our brains are still not fully developed. I still believe that juveniles should not be charged as adults but they should be punished for their crimes.

# data[].attributes.body
If I committed the same crime as an adult I do think it would be fair if i get punished the same, because you are responsible for your own actions. At 17 you are well aware of the consequences you are getting into before doing whatever the action is. I can define right from wrong so there is not excuse to why i shouldn't get any less of empathy than a adult.

My views have changed by understanding that accountability is key and it is how life works. You do good deeds good deeds will come your way and vice versa.

Yes I think if I committed the same crime as an adult I should get the same punishment's.

My view is still the same.

If I committed a serious crime I would want to be punish for it but I don't think they should be given the same sentence as an adult because they are not fully develop. My views have change a lot at first i thought that they shouldn't be given the same sentence as adults because they are kids but now i think that depending on the situation i think they should get the same sentence. My positions on this topic is still the same that kids should not be tried as a adult.

If I committed a serious crime, I would wholeheartedly receive and respect the consequences I deserve, regardless of my age. In fact, I believe if people were so fond of their youth they would try to avoid these things and do what kids do! Being a kid cannot be an excuse for getting away with doing wrong because when these kids grow up, with no correction, these actions will most definitely be repeated.

If I commit a adults crime i will accept the the punishment that a adult would have for the same crime.

I still think that if you commit a crime you'll have the same punishment because crime it's crime with all it's consequences.

If I committed a serious, and I committed the same as an adult. I believe I should get the same amount of time as the adult. It is the same crime, so why should I get less time. Same crime, same time.

If I committed a serious crime, I think it would be fair to have me punished the same way as an adult.

My point of view on this topic has changed because other people see that kids/teens deserve a second chance and that they learn from there mistakes. If I have committed a serious crime I think I should be punished the same way as an adult.

Thesis: While the crimes committed may be similar, their situations are unique, and each individual should be tried as such. Some crimes are not as bad as others but in other instances, the punishment should fit the crime. That is why juveniles should sometimes be tried as adults.

Thesis: Children should not be senses as an adults because kids don't have the full capacity knowledge of their actions.

Juvenile systems are corrupt due to the fact they on and on continue to state that just because it is a child, they should not be charged with a sentence an adult gets, when in reality... they definitely should.

Life will not give you a second chance when committing a serious crime. One thing is making a minor mistake and learning from it another thing is committing something more merciless knowing the consequences.

Thesis:  Now put a child maybe fourteen or fifteen who commits a terrible crime, maybe murder or something, would you want him or her to face the same punishment?

Juvenile court cases should be looked at by a case by case basis by analyzing the mental health of the child, taking into considering the type of crime committed, and what their motive was.

If the situation or crime permits, children should be tried as adults. The concept is simple, if you commit an adult crime, you deserve adult time. There are many components that go along with convicting someone of an unlawful act, and age should not be one of them.

Thesis: Juveniles cases should be thoroughly inspected before sentencing judges must not ignore their childhood traumas and the events leading to the crime making it clear that they have seen all the evidence and have chosen wisely

Every Juvenile case should be analyzed with considerations instead of trying them as an adult based on the crime alone.
