should teens be tried as adults in court?

I do believe that minors who commit major violent crimes, like murder, should indeed be tried in adult court, because the juvenile court system is unable to give out sentences equal to the punishment of the crime. However, I do not feel that a juvenile should be incarcerated among adults until the age of 18. I think that they should be incarcerated at a juvenile facility until the age of 18 and transferred to serve the remaining term in an adult facility. I do not believe in children being sentenced to the death penalty, for any crime. I do think that a minors age should be taken into consideration during sentencing, but the juvenile court system tends to be too lenient towards violent crime, mostly because of sentencing limitations for minors. Until the juvenile court system is reworked to give judges in these cases the ability to set a just punishment, I think it is best to be handed over to the adult courts. For children 12 and under, I think it is better handled through a juvenile court, but depending on the extent of the crime, it may be better handled if the child is charged as an adult. Honestly, the best result is for the allowance of harsher punishments for minors, and then they would not have to be charged as adults. Until that happens, these crimes have to be dealt with now, and that is often only justly done when they are charged as adults.

If the person is 14 or older, definitely tried as an adult. If you can kill someone at 14, you will probably do it at 24.

I'm not sure what to do about a ten year old. That's awfully young for a life sentence or the death sentence. Yet, I do not have faith in the government to provide the services the child would need.

every person under the close by age of majority is legally no longer an person, and would not have the household initiatives or rights of an person. The close by legislators have decreed that some age (enable us to declare 19) is the age at which a man or woman will become an person. until eventually that factor, they are not completely to blame for their strikes.

If they are old enough to make babies then they are about as adult as you can get, and should be held fully responsible for their actions.

would you like to see a 10 years old getting the death sentence ? and his execution ?

adult crime=adult time
