https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om If you committed a serious crime (like murder, rape, etc.), do you think it would be fair for you to be punished the same way an adult who committed the same crime would be? Why or why not? Would your reasoning apply to all crimes or just certain ones? Does age make a difference (would a 12-year-old get the same sentence as a 17-year-old)? Even if you believe teens/children should get the same treatment by crime, would the punishment the same or should it be different?

By committing a horrible act you should be punished regardless of age because if you can construct and act upon an idea to cause harm to others you should not be charged less because you are younger. If someone where to kill at the age of 12 and someone were to kill at the age of 40, it does not make a difference in age because they both killed someone. ]]> 2023-02-08 19:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474041037 mogarc14001 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474042156 Yes, it would be fair for juveniles to be given the same punishment as an adult because when they commit a crime they may think that they are more likely to get away with it since they are younger so when they get the same sentence as someone who is an adult, they may be less likely to commit any crimes again ]]> 2023-02-08 19:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474042156 haurit03620 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474042834 In my opinion I do think that it would be fair to get punished the same as an adult because life isn't easy. Just because your a minor doesn't mean you shouldn't get the same consequences as an adult, it's a life lesson, you learn from it and you won't commit it again. ]]> 2023-02-08 19:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474042834 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474042960 I think it will be fair because I am very close to 18 which is considered an adult. I think the reasoning should be to most crimes that are violent but only some that are not so severe should be less harsh. I believe that the age does matter because if you did something at 12 years old you are able to get help since it happened when you were young. I also think the punishment should be the same because you still did the same thing as a 20 year old that murdered someone.]]> 2023-02-08 19:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474042960 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474043850 I believe that we should trial people based off the crime they commit. But depending on their age I believe they should have differney consequences. If a kid kills a kid and its on purpose then I believe they should be sent away but I don't think life is fair either. People need to face punishment at this age but should be sent away to seek mental help as well. People should be trialed for their wrong doing but only some age restrictions should be factored in for the intensity of their crime.]]> 2023-02-08 19:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474043850 jaorti03728 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474044120 I think it would be fair for me to be punished the same way an adult who committed the same crime would be because if an adult did it they would get punished and I should be charged and punished the same way since I clearly knew what I did and how it is wrong. This would apply to all crimes. Age does not make a difference because they are old enough to realize that if they commit a crime an adult would they should be charged like an adult. ]]> 2023-02-08 19:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474044120 vamend04636 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474044735 I believe that if you committed a serious crime at a young age you should still be punished as an adult because they made those choices and should be held accountable. I would say that if it was something simple like robbing you can theoretically still learn from your mistake. Murder/🤬 is not something you learn from. Its a heinous crime that you thought of committing and saw it through. I also believe that punishment should be the same for whoever committed the crime.]]> 2023-02-08 20:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474044735 brtemp802281 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474045501 I believe that it is indeed not fair due to the fact that people who are far more innocent get punished more because they're older. I think they should have the same punishment. Unless they're younger than 15 because if you are older than that I'm sure you are comprehensive enough to know what you are doing. If it's a serious crime I do feel it deserves a serious punishment no matter the age.]]> 2023-02-08 20:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474045501 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474045839 In crime, the age of the person is an important to factor in determining the appropriate punishment. It is widely believed that young children such as 12 years old or below, should be treated differently than adults, as they don't have developed decision-making capabilities and may be more open to what actions they did. However, some argue that even young children should face the consequences of their actions, and that age should not be a topic in determining punishment. Finally, the punishment should fit the crime, and the age difference should be considered in other relevant circumstances.]]> 2023-02-08 20:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474045839 Ashchav https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474046485 If I were to have done a serious crime, it would be fair for me to get punished as an adult. The reason why I think it would be fair is because it would be the only way the victim or family would be at peace. I do think that a 12 year old should at least do a 3/4 sentence of what a 17 year old would do. I don't think that all crimes should be counted towards the same punishments only the serious crimes should get the same punishments.]]> 2023-02-08 20:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474046485 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474047066 A crime is going against the laws set by the Government which were created to stop people from doing things like 🤬, murder, tax evasion etc. A "Child" that murders someone has now taken a life, people who think it is unfair to put them in jail for the rest of theirs due to "not knowing how long it would actually be" or them "not knowing that someone dying means they will not come back ever" is just an excuse to keep a murderer on the street. The fact is these "kids" will grow into adults, and if their childhood was them being in a juvenile detention center, their idea of people will be lessened, their grip on their own humanity now loosened. Giving a child space to be free after taking everything from someone, is the dumbest thing people can do, because in 25 years a murderer is bigger, stronger, in their prime, and have done it before so the child murderer in question will now just do it again, or even worse, live with the fact they killed someone for the rest of their life with no guilt whatsoever, because to them the punishment wasn't that long compared to how they can now explore and experience the big world, and all the crimes the grown up kid can commit are even greater! Anyways none of you read this, to shorten it, the kid you see will grow up, and the experiences they have will dictate how they'll be as a grown up, having murder under your belt does a number on it.- Zheswarfidel Kergyz Andrade ]]> 2023-02-08 20:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474047066 kiharo70769 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474047598 I think it will be fair for me to be punished the same way as an adult because I believe I already know the difference between the good and the bad.  Although, age does make the difference because the brain doesn’t stop developing until the age of 20. The way that some minors act is due to the parent’s action and education that they gave to them. Punishment for a minor should not be the same as an adult since they don’t have the same reasoning or thinking.

Receiving the same amount of punishment for those in their younger years may prove for them to be less likely to commit any offenses again. Learning a life lesson for the crime you commit with this maybe become better and help others.

It's fair to me because if you were to commit a crime like this no matter the age any person should be getting a big consequence. Many juveniles do get away with a lot of crimes that they make because of their age. It should be the same consequences that they give adults for their crimes because if the juveniles keep getting away with these things they are not going to change anything about themselves or learn from a mistake . ]]> 2023-02-08 20:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474054893 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474062749 I think that it is fair for both adults and minors to be given the same punishment as one another. Having committed a serious crime should never be taken lightly and giving a smaller punishment simply because of age, seems very hypocritical. Though in cases like stealing, I wouldn't apply this idea. Typically younger kids don't entirely understand the problem with taking something that isn't theirs and it would be unfair to judge their crime the way one would do with someone older.- Gisell]]> 2023-02-08 20:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474062749 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474067372 I would agree if I were to commit a crime I should be charged the same way as an adult would. The "he's still not an adult" shouldn't be an excuse for me to have my freedom or less time than an adult who has committed the same crime as me. If it were to be someone who isn't a teen then they shouldn't be charged the same way as an adult as they could've been influenced by something they may have played or watched, the blame should be on the parents for bad parenting. The punishment shouldn't be the same for someone who isn't a teen and instead they should be taken would be sort of similar to rehab.]]> 2023-02-08 20:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474067372 allara51734 https://padlet.com/jaymeeorafferty/qk5j5xwu1dt6j1om/wish/2474548197 I think the punishment for kids under 13 years old should receive a less harsher punishment then what adults get charged with. Teens in the age range of 14-16 should also get not as hard of a punishment of adults but more that what kids under 13 would receive.
