The execution of juveniles places the U.S., the leading democratic nation in the world, on a par with the likes of Iran and Iraq. Alternative suggestions of incarcerating juvenile offenders for life without the chance of parole are equally hard to endorse, and attention must be focused on the young children to prevent them becoming offenders. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
