In 1993, a mall security camera captured a shaky image of two 10-year-old boys leading much smaller boy out of a Liverpool, England, shopping center. The boys lured James Bulger, 2, away from his mother, who was shopping, and led him on a tong walk across town. The excursion ended at a railroad track. There, inexplicably, the older boys tortured the toddler, kicking him, smearing paint on his face and pummeling him to death with bricks before leaving him on the track to be dismembered by a train. The boys, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, then went off to watch cartoon.
Today the boys are 18-year-old men, and after spending eight years in juvenile facilities, they have been deemed fit for release-probably this spring. The dilemma now confronting the English justice system is how to reintegrate the notorious duo into a society that remains horrified by their crimes and skeptical about their rehabilitation. Last week Judge Elizabeth Buffer-Sloss decided the young men were in so much danger that they needed an unprecedented shield to protect them upon release. For the rest of their lives, Venables and Thompson will have a right to anonymity. All English media outlets are banned from publishing any information about their whereabouts or the new identities the government will help them establish. Photos of the two or even details about their current looks art also prohibited.
In the U. S., which is harder on juvenile criminals than England, such a riding seems inconceivable. "We’re clearly the most punitive in the industrialized world," says Laurence Steinberg, a Temple University professor who studies juvenile justice. Over the past decade, the trend in the U. S. has been to allow publication of ever more information about underage offenders. U. S. courts also give more weight to press freedom than English courts, which, for example, ban all video cameras.
But even for Britain, the order is extraordinary. The victim’s family is enraged, as are the ever-eager British tabloids. "What fight have they got to be given special protection as adults?" asks Bulger’s mother Denise Fergus. Newspaper editorials have insisted that citizens have a right to know if Venables or Thompson move in next door. Says conservative Member of Parliament Humfrey Malins: "It almost leaves you with the feeling that the nastier the crime, the greater the chance for a passport to a completely new life."
From the passage we can infer that a US counterpart of Vanables or Thompson would ______.
选项
A、have no freedom to go wherever he wants
B、serve a life imprisoment for the crime
C、be forbidden to join many of his relatives
D、no doubt receive massive publicity in the U. S.
答案
D
解析
本题问根据本文,如果Jon Venables或Robert Thompson是个美国少年犯将会如何。第三段说:在美国,对少年犯比英国更加严厉,这样的做法是难以想像的。过去的几十年里,美国的趋势是允许公开关于未成年犯罪的信息。美国比英国更重视新闻自由。所以正确答案是 D(毫无疑问,在美国会受到广泛的公众注意)。
