What are some points that i can use when it comes to teens & being treated like adults when it come to crimes?

Question

it's a debate and need points saying that they should be treated like adults when it comes to criminal crimes .

Answer 1

the maturity level of said person, the intelligence of said person, as well as reasoning and common sense.

Answer 2

*If they get by with it this time (as a "minor") it will not let them know the real seriousness of the crime

*They may repeat the same crime again because they "got by with it" as a minor

* If they were old enough to commit the crime then they are old enough to deal with the consequences.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

In what context?  Is this for a paper or are you trying to prove a point to someone or what?

More details and I'll edit later.
