Comments
The ACLU of Virginia opposes legislation that treats juveniles as adults in the criminal justice system. Juveniles are fundamentally different than adults and have a unique potential for successful rehabilitation. The human brain develops well into a person’s twenties, so juveniles have not yet developed the capacity to make mature and responsible decisions. Juvenile offenders must be held accountable for their crimes, but in a way that takes advantage of their unique potential for rehabilitation and reentry. Research from around the country confirms that juveniles who are tried and sentenced as adults are much more likely to commit additional — and more violent — crimes than youth with similar offenses who are kept in the juvenile system.
