Should young criminals be treated in the same way as adults? This issue has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.
Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
Yes:
If the courts take a more flexible approach to young criminals, then the related laws and punishment will not have a proper effect on teenagers. They are likely to commit horrible crimes since they won’t be severely punished.
Only by taking stem legal measures against young criminals can we bring a number of misguided young people around to the right road.
In some cases, lighter sentences might also lead to people’s resentment towards the judicial system as victims might argue that these young offenders are not punished justly. This eventually could also bring a lot of unsafe factors to people’s life and social stability.
No:
The circumstances of the crime and the criminal’s motivation should be taken into consideration when it comes to juvenile delinquency. For example, because of poverty and hunger, some teens may turn to stealing food or robbery. In the above case, harsh punishment, such as a long-term jail sentence, might not be the best solution.
Some alternatives such as community service might be better for some young offenders who lack parenting and self-discipline.
Minors should be given a better chance of rehabilitation when they commit crimes because of their ignorance.

答案
Should Young Criminals Be Treated in the Same Way as Adults? In recent years, the rate of juvenile delinquency keeps on soaring, which has attracted lots of attention from the public and the social scientists. Accordingly, whether young lawbreakers should be punished equally as adult criminals has become one of the most controversial issues throughout the world. Some people claim that lighter sentences will neither minimize the amount of crimes committed by teenagers nor make the victims believe in equal justice, while others hold the view that what sanctions should be imposed must be decided by taking the criminals’ age, motivation and future development into consideration. My stand is that this is never a purely black and white issue. Whether the same penalty should be imposed on juvenile lawbreakers and adult criminals is dependent on the specific case. On the one hand, those who commit violent crimes, such as rape or murder, should be treated the same way as adult criminals regardless of their age so as to ensure justice and equality. On the other hand, if teenagers embark on the criminal road because of negligence or induction, a lighter penalty can help them reflect on themselves as well as give them a chance to turn over a new leaf. All in all, it is a hasty approach to simply impose the same penalty on young criminals as adult criminals. Judges should be more discreet about the punishment on juvenile criminals.
