Abstract Sometimes you get some bad kids who need a good butt-whooping. In this paper it will not be about butt-whooping but we will talk about kids and capital punishment. Interested? Keep reading! So basically, my research deals with how kids shouldn't be put under the death penalty even if they are sicko criminal because at the end of the day they're kids. Kids will be kids right?! So don't kill them because they need help. My paper will talk about this topic mainly. I also want to point out that if parents did their jobs kids wouldn't have to go through this. So if you are parent reading this, I hope you know how to raise kids right. Keywords: parents, kids, Capital punishment Kids Will Be Kids Kids will be kids. They make mistakes and often times don't even know the nature of their actions and what they may cause. Capital punishment (The death penalty) is a government sanctioned practice where a person is killed by a state as a punishment for a crime that they've committed. In the united states the death penalty has been around since as long as there has been a justice system. This is something that I feel minors never should have and never should be subjected to. Crime & Punishment from The Beginning Of Time punishment and crime has gone hand in hand. Punishment should always be fair and just. The death penalty is something that minors should not be subjected to. Minors are not as blameworthy for their actions as adults are studies will how that the human brain isn't fully developed well up until a person reaches the age of 25 (see references page for what I'm talking about). Buying alcohol, tobacco products, guns, registering to vote and even serving in the military all have age prohibitions on them so death penalty should require the same thing if one is too young to buy alcohol or register to vote they should be considered too young to be fully responsible for their actions and or choices they have made. we treat minors differently from adults in many sorts of ways because we recognize they are not fully formed intellectually, emotionally or ethically. It's hard to justify the fact that at latest count, since 1973, 226 juvenile death sentences have been imposed. 22 minor offenders have been executed and 82 still remain on death row. Such a harsh sentence is understandable for repeat adult offenders, and or people whose patterns of behavior indicate they will never change their criminal ways. But minors are still developing, how can we justify a sentence that doesn't recognize the possibility of change? It has been proven that minors have the biggest possibility for redemption. See references to see where I got this information. Roper vs Simmons March 1st 2005 a decision was made in the Roper vs Simmons case. Roper vs Simmons was a case in which was a landmark decision. the Supreme Court of the United States held that it is unconstitutional to impose capital punishment for crimes committed while under the age of 18. Aside from cruel and unusual punishment it can also be argued that children are less blameworthy than adults and have a better chance at rehabilitation brain development research has continued to prove what most people already know that children's brains differ from adult
