[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just juvie and prison? If we actually had punishments for committing underaged crimes (shoplifting! Car theft!), then they wouldn't graduate to murder. [/quote] Yes, actual consequences would be a good start. Youth that are inflicting violence on the community first and foremost need to be removed from society, community safety should not take a back seat to some violent kid. And, there should be consequences, like if they carjack someone and wreck the car, who pays the damage? Shouldn't be "oh just let insurance take care of it" and pretend it's victimless. As for rehabilitating them and returning them to society that is also important, but an entirely separate issue from the first one of making our communities safer by removing violent individuals from society. Don't leap to the second issue without dealing with the first one of community safety. [/quote]
