Stealing teenage lives? Klaudia Binkowska Mr. Haworth Digital Literacy 6/27/13
Thesis • Teens shouldn’t serve life. • Not mature • Stealing their life • Less accountable for actions • Peer pressure • Depraved character
U.S Only • Only ones to use • Routine Life without parole sentences. • 2,500 serving 17 and under • 109 serving w/ no homicide
Not Mature Enough? • Different from adults • Less mature • Give in to peer pressure • Less accountable • Depraved character
Fair or Not • No evidence • For/against crime • Rebecca serving for unknown crime • Life sentence • May not be reviewed • Death penalty reviewed many times
Conclusion Teens shouldn’t serve life Not fair to them Against “unusual/cruel punishments” Same thing as taking away their life and choices.
