What ways are juveniles culpable

Reference no: EM133484513

Question: In the Supreme Court case Miller v. Alabama (2012), the opinion of the court states:

Mandatory life without parole for a juvenile precludes consideration of his chronological age and its landmark features-among them, immaturity, impetuosity, and failure to appreciate risks and consequences.

Take a position. Do you believe that life without parole is an appropriate sentence for a juvenile?

First, title your post either "Life Without Parole Is Appropriate for Juveniles" or "Life Without Parole Is Inappropriate for Juveniles."

In what ways are juveniles culpable? Is it possible for youth to be irreparably corrupt? What developmental evidence should be taken into consideration, if any? Be sure to build your case with factual resources.
