tried as adults? I will be having a debate in class and am trying to find out certain strong points to say during the debate that will back up why I they should be tried as adults.
ok I dont want any reasons why they shouldnt I personally know why they shouldnt I am just trying to find reasons why they should that is what my debate asks for me to do so I am doing it, don't waste my time this is not the place to preach your feelings but to persuade in the opposite viewpoint if you can.
 
they shouldn't be tried as adults because THEY AREN'T ADULTS! They don't have the mental capacity to fully understand what they've done. Sending a 12 yr old to jail for doing a felony is absolutely crazy and i dont care what he did. Your brain doesn't develop fully until a certain age.
 
If they get a slap on the wrist they continue to commit more crimes. You may be able to find statistical data that states so.
 
u can maybe say this..
1. since juveniles always seems to act like an adult, this probably caused by the transition process of the juveniles to be an adults, so it is not wrong to tried them as adults as to give them the preparation to be an adult in the future. eventually, they'll be adults later.

2. since teenagers years are usually label as the trial and error phase for them, so why not try to treat them like adults and see if they like it or not.

hope this help..
