▶ Your Answer :
These days, the number of crime happned by teenagers keep increasing and seriousness of the crime is getting higher. But teenagers receive light punishment than adults because of the reason that they are young. However, now, they are very mature physically and mentally. So I think we need to adjust the age of minors.
In today's world, teenagers are growing up than before because their education level is higher and they frequently exposure to social problem by various media. It means that they know how it is bad to commit crime and harmful to other people. Also, we can not say anymore that the violence crime is not serious what they commit because they are mature physically enough.
Furthermore, the seriousness of crime happened by teenagers is going higher, like murder, rape, etc. And sometimes, it happens under planing and by a group of teenagers. we can not think it happens accidentally. Often, teenagers who commit crime explain they never thought it makes that much bad result because of this reason some people say they can not get heavy punishment though. I can not agree with that idea. It seems like they commit crime just as a funny thing or a source of pride that they did not expect the result. So we need to give them heavy punishment and make them know that they can not commit crime just for fun and proud. Of course, I am not saying about that we need to give heavy punishment to very young children like preschool and elementary school student. I am saying that, as they are mature and they do it under planing and act it by group, we need to adjust the age of minors to make they can not get a kind of benefit because they are just young.
For the reasons above, I think we have to change the age of minors because they are mature and it becomes big problem that the crime commited by teenagers. |
