Possible Thesis
From being a child to a criminal, juveniles have certain rights that entitles them to be viewed as juveniles, such the seriousness of the crime, age and their mental state. Although, a committed minor can be charged as a juvenile with less time depending on seriousness of the crime, they can be charged as an adult. Although, the Juvenile system isn’t as strict as the adult criminal system, children in the system still face injustice that impact their mental health.
