Discussion Forum: What is your opinion on the Juvenile Death Penalty?
Although it has been shown that juvenile delinquency is on the decline, the issue still persists within many urban and suburban neighborhoods and school districts. With violence becoming seemingly more and more acceptable, juveniles in turn act and react in a visibly more violent manner, often resulting in crimes that lead to a strictly enforced juvenile punishment. However, due to the rise of violent juvenile delinquency, 19 states have approved the death penalty as a possible punishment for crimes committed for 16-17 year old teens. Consider this, what are alternative options for resolving this issue? Is the juvenile death penalty unconsitutional or justified?
