There are number of cases all over
the world that boys below 18 raped& tortured the kids/ girls/women but nothing
suitable has been done in most of the countries. Leniency shown by the law in
case of heinous crime is a sufficient ground to legitimate the anger of public.
The juvenile centre cannot assure the society that the criminal would not rape
or kill again. The present law seems to be unfit for the safety of innocents.
Most of the people opine that all
the law makers& law enforcing agencies are serious about the gravity of
situation but they cannot feel up to the level which a common man is feeling
because they& their family members are provided with security.
A very light punishment may encourage
other criminal minded persons below 18 to commit the crime. More over it will
bring bad name to the nation& the man kind as a whole. Public also feels
that we should be kind to the children but the kindness is deserved where the
crime is of the childish nature.
It is the demand of public& of the
time that years should not be considered as the criteria of considering a person
as juvenile or adult. The nature of crime& his bent of mind are sufficient proof
to prove his biological age& hence the severest punishment to reduce the
number of crime, almost very much close to nil.
