Enhanced by dedicated and committed members, James Taylor High School Key Club has been a crucial aspect in my realization of the true meaning of community service, as I’m sure has been to many others.

Many people do not think there is such thing as an “Adult Crime.” A Crime is a crime no matter who it is committed by teens or children should be held accountable for their actions and tried as adults. If I knew

Teenagers should not be tried as adults. Due to the lack of cognitive development, outcome of going to a prison, and the vindictiveness of taking someone’s life away.

Should juveniles be tried as adults? There are many conflicts to this question.Many people say no and others say yes. Today many juveniles that commit serious crimes do get tried as adults. Violent crimes are committed in the United States every day. Almost one-half of them are committed by teenagers ages 13 through 17. In 2015 there were seven thousand juveniles that were tried as an adult.

During the probation period, violent juveniles still commit similar crimes because they never realize the consequences of their actions.
