Juvenile Delinquent and Adult Criminals


    
What would you become?


       Juvenile Delinquent is a term describing a minor crime. In which the consequences and punishments are different from those compared to adults. Juveniles are portrait to need help and have no idea what they are doing because they cannot control themselves. Therefore their actions are reconsidered and less punishable compared to the adults. Since adults tend to be responsible for their actions. This image connects because it labels different words towards juvenile delinquency. To specify the reasons that what it is dealing with Juvenile Delinquency.   

The multimedia image that was used, connects to the readings because it shows how society itself identifies  juvenile delinquency."Many juveniles know what they are doing should be punished just as severely as adults."  Which is a controversy when younger individuals commit minor crimes or even murder. Did they really know what they were doing? For instance if an adult commits a crime and pleads insanity defense and a juvenile delinquency commits a crime should it be considered that they really need help? Or should they try to understand what the kid was doing and what caused his actions.

Adults and Juvenile in the same jail cell!
     The treatment and view between adults and juvenile delinquents is distinct. Factors that contribute to this difference are many along with exceptions. Some of the distinctions are age, severity of crime, laws, and punishment.

The above image was used because it relates to how it mentions that adults and juveniles delinquency should be treated alike. What would happened if they where to put in jail cell together.First they are different age gaps and how is the kid going to learn any thing if he is going to be surrounded by adult criminals. I personally do not think it is fair so it to them to be treated alike because of their age. Even if it was a young individual ages 7 or 8 years old what would that cause? The young individual would grow up and have a perspective like an adult. He would have not gain any knowledge in his mistakes. Also these image was chosen to see how the juvenile looks scared and the adults are portrayed as tough making the juvenile scared and worried.
