Adolescents in Crime

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast because your questions were interesting and thought provoking.

I liked how there was a nice flow through the entire thing. Question, interview answers, statistics.

What did you get out of this project?

I believe that because adolescents are still developing. I agree with Ms. Martin when she said that there was no set age that children realize what is right and wrong. I believe that when trying an adolescent for a crime the court must be very careful. The main problem would be whether the child knows if they were doing something wrong, and if they planned the crime or had a malicious intent.

I really enjoyed the interviews and the questions that were asked during the interviews

I believe that both hosts did a great job of interviewing and they did not impose their own beliefs on the interviewees.

I wonder exactly what determines whether a adolescent should be charged as an adult or not in a court of law?

I feel that, depending on the crime and brain development, it might be appropriate to try an adolescent as an adult. This topic relates to me and my friends because we are adolescents. I learned that figuring out how old somebody is before they can be tried as an adult is difficult. What do you guys think about it?
