Major Informative Speech

There are many controversial topics we can spend hours talking more or less and have deferent points of view on. My favorite one is the one that argues If down the stairs historic periodd kids should be try as adults or not. This topic has so many different points of views that there exit n of all time be an exact answer on If children should be tried as adults or not. This topic Is very elicit because every case Is different, meaning that because there are different variables that led kids to get In move we can never say that all kids should be treated as adults because their level of crime is ever the same.Viewing each case as its own is the only way that someone can decide on whether or not they can be seen as kids or adults, I dont think this topic should be generalized into a yes or no. Of course, everybody has different views on things and in these next few paragraphs I will take into consideration different states opinions as well as why some people think this should b e a firm yes or no. BODY 1) History and Definitions a) It Is estimated that as many as 250,000 y stunnedh annually are prosecuted as adults. (Juvenile Law Center. Youth In the great(p) System.Campaign for Youth Justice, Jan. 2013. Web. 07 Cot. 2014. ) I) It is get alongn that the youth that go into adult jails are five times more promising to be raped and mistreated by others in those jails. B) Fourteen states have no minimum age for trying children as adults. Children as young as eight have been prosecuted as adults. (Areola, Jorge N. Children in Prison. tinct Justice Initiative. N. P. , 27 Seep. 2013. Web. 01 Cot. 2014. ) c) An adult sentence is where a young person under the age of 18 is found guilty of an indictable offence for which n adult is liable to imprisonment.TRANSITION The law has certain requirements children under the age of eighteen must reach In order to be tried as an adult. 2) major(ip) arguments in favor of children getting tried as adults a) As you grow up you know what is good and wrong because in most homes there are rules and if there isnt there are rules at school. Children know that it is not pass to hit someone in school because they will not go out to recess if they do so. Having some sort of punishment teaches kids that there are certain things that are not acceptable at any mime. Children know when they are doing something wrong. If a 14 year old shoots someone, they should be in prison. If they kill someone, they should be tried as an adult. You dont need to be 18 to understand the results of destruction a human life. Page, Arians P. Should Children Be Tried as Adults? The Premier Online Debate Website. N. P. , 04 Jan. 2014. Web. 03 Cot. 2014. ) b) When a child is not tried as an adult on a crime that Is most likely to be through with(p) by an adult, they will think that because they were cut off on the punishment It will most likely happen again and hey will do it again. Our youth today need to learn that it is not okay to commit teach them too many things that later in life turn into reality and that is when we tribulation letting them get away with so many things. North, Anon. Once a Criminal ever so a Criminal. By Boxcar. N. P. , 28 June 2011. Web. 03 Cot. 2014. ) c) Children not being charged when a crime is committed will later think they have gotten away with their crime. This leads the law to charge them unconstipated if that means treating them as adults. reservation a punishment for them lets them know that no matter what age here will be consequences to their actions. In the case of homicide, my choice is either to charge him as an adult, or dont charge him, said John Bonging of the Lawrence County district Attorneys Office. Not charging him at all wasnt feasible. Chin, Stephanie. CNN. Cable News Network, 15 Mar. 2010. Web. 05 Cot. 2014. ) TRANSITION The points Eve made my question on show the lessons kids will get from their crimes that have gone too far to what their brain should even be thinking of at such a young age. I think this also shows other kids how bad their punishments can e if they ever think of doing anything like that.
