Young people who commit serious crimes should be punished in the same way as adults. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
正确答案：
Crimes can be detestable, while minor offenders and their crimes are from
time to time treated with leniency. Thus, some argue that laws should not
discriminate, and equally punish minor criminals—an opinion that this essay is
against.
To begin with, minors are yet to approach their maturity, and their crimes,
albeit serious, should be punished with the consideration of their young age.
Internationally speaking, countries might define the start of adulthood
differently—18 being the most common—but they commonly believe that there is a
distinction between minor crimes and adult crimes. Minors are likely to be given
a better chance for rehabilitation when they commit crimes because of their
inexperience of life and possibly better life prospects. In that case, milder
punishments are inflicted onjuvenile delinquents: lesser sentencing and
relatively less harsh correction facilities are introduced in their cases.
Moreover, considering the correction process, minor offenders should not be
punished equally as adult criminals. Despite the above-mentioned arguments that
are in young offenders’ defense, crimes, especially felonies by minors, deserve
heavy punishment to deter crimes and reduce the harm of those crimes to the
society. However, sending minors to adult prison might entailunexpectedly
negative results. First, minors are naturally closer to more sophisticated
criminals and crimes, which aggravate juvenile delinquency. Second, when in
adult correctional facilities, young criminals might be threatened by assaults
by adult prisoners, mostly sexually,which is nowhere closer to the purpose of
rehabilitation.
In sum, law breakers, be they minors or not, should be punished for their
wrongdoings, but lesser sentences and special correctional facilities might be
more reasonable and helpful.
