I encourage you to include your personal experiences and observations as part of these discussions. You will also read and comment upon the answers of your peers. Your participation in these discussion boards will be evaluated using the rubric provided in the discussion forum within Canvas.
Considering the various resources you just viewed, discuss the following:
Should adolescents be tried in a court of law as adults?Adolescents under the age of 18 can be tried as adults in some circumstances and sentenced according to adult guidelines, possibly for the rest of their lives.
In your response:Use information from this module to support your opinion.
Consider various potential circumstances of when/how/if the “trial as adult” option should be used.
Consider as well the possibilities of who would be more likely to get arrested in the first place (vs warned), who would be more likely to have support and resources to fight the charges, and other contextual factors.
NOTE: You must first post your initial response in order to view and reply to your classmates responses.
Discussion Reminders:
Reference the resources from this module as part of your response to be eligible to earn full credit.
Make at least 2 comments on your peers’ posts. Consult the Canvas rubric for details – it is the same for all main discussions in this course, including the introductory discussion.
Please avoid “pre-posting” (posting a blank or minimal post ahead of your actual intended post). By doing this, you’re circumventing a setting that I’ve enabled so that everyone has to post their thoughts prior to having access to what your classmates have said. This helps so that people don’t worry about repeating each other or changing their answers to fit what someone else said. If you pre-post, your grade may be impacted.
