Question 3

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Many people calling for harsher punishment for juvenile offenders, especially violent ones, may not be fully aware of the information on victimization in juvenile training schools (prisons). Research has shown that juveniles in these facilities are at a high risk of victimization, including physical and sexual abuse from both staff and other inmates. This victimization can have long-lasting negative effects on the mental and emotional well-being of these young individuals.

If those advocating for tougher measures for juveniles were made aware of the victimization risks in juvenile prisons, it could potentially affect their stance. Understanding the vulnerability of these young offenders and the potential harm they may face in these facilities could lead to a more nuanced approach to juvenile justice. Instead of focusing solely on punishment, there may be a shift towards addressing the underlying issues that lead to juvenile offending and providing more rehabilitative and supportive measures.

Ultimately, it is important for those advocating for harsher punishment for juvenile offenders to consider the full range of factors at play, including the risks of victimization in juvenile prisons. This knowledge could lead to more informed and compassionate approaches to addressing juvenile crime.

Ethics Focus: "Who's There?" You are a prosecutor in a state that allows juveniles to be tried as adults for crimes such as murder and to be sentenced to an adult prison. A 15-year-old talked two other boys, ages 15 and 14, respectively, into burglarizing the home of a 72-year-old woman who lived alone. The woman woke up during the burglary and shouted "Who's there?" Then she got out of bed and saw the three youths and called out the name of the youth who planned the burglary. She knew him because he had been her paperboy for more than a year and regularly collected payment from her. Panicking, he picked up a fireplace tool and hit her on the head several times. She died of her injuries. -Would you prosecute all three youths in juvenile court? In adult court? Would you seek life without parole (the most severe possible penalty for a juvenile) for any of the youths?
