Prosecuting Juveniles in Adult Courts

Prosecuting juveniles in adult courts need to be enforced because the severity of crimes committed today have gone from bad to worst. Many are under the influence of drugs that makes the crimes so severe; many resulting in deaths of innocent victims. Even if the prefrontal lobes of some juvenile offenders are not fully developed until the mid-twenties, they still should be liable for the crime committed. The immaturity of the brain encourages risky behavior, and the risks that theses juveniles take will dangerously increase if they are not shown the seriousness involved. If the law should lighten the enforcement of juvenile crime in the court systems, the public and the law enforcers would be endangered. Many times the serious offenders have it in their genes to commit such dangerous acts, and this is when it becomes chaotic because repeated behavior will continue.
