No, it is not right. Conduct alone, that is, the alleged criminal act, should not by itself determine whether to invoke the heavy hand of the adult criminal justice system. Because people neither expect children to be criminals nor expect crimes to be committed by them, the unforeseen intersection between childhood and criminality creates a dilemma that most of us find difficult to resolve. The only way out of this dilemma is either to redefine the offence as something less serious than a crime or to redefine the offender as someone who is not really a child. Treating most of them as delinquent acts to be adjudicated within a separate juvenile justice system that is theoretically designed to recognize the special needs and immature status of young people and emphasize rehabilitation over punishment is a key feature absent in the Adult Court. To try a young offender in an adult court is both unfair and against the established system.
