Different Theses

 

1. Because crime can be committed at any age, justice systems shouldn't have an age restriction for violent crimes. Therefore the prison age should be lowered or court systems should have fair punishments.

 

2.  Therefore fair and just court systems should be called into affect with having restrictions on punishments for certain ages; because, committing crime does not have an age restriction, anyone can commit a violent murder
