What I learned in this unit or at least my perspective on Juveniles being tried as adult is that before judging whether or not we send a delinquent into we adult prison we must take into account their backgrounds or environment they came from. After reading the book I was able to understand the juvenile system better, and how it would have more of an impact on the juvenile offenders than adult prison, reasoning being, while serving their time in the juvenile system they have the opportunity to receive rehabilitation and by going straight to prison their chances of hope are little.
I thought reading and being able to understand the material was critical in order to write this particular essay because at some point before you write this essay you have to take a stance on which side you stand on, whether it be your for trying adults or the opposite. After determining which side you stand on, for me it was easy because I was able to provides reason why I believed rehabilitation was necessary for the juveniles.
