Student F made the claim, “Teens and children under the age of 18 who commit crimes should be tried as adults in court.” Which of the following is an example of an appropriate counterclaim the student might make?

Select one:

It might appear as children are incapable of committing crimes.


Some people argue that the punishment for juvenile crimes is far too harsh.


Many people feel, on the other hand, that jails in America are overcrowded.


Scientists have proven that people under the age of 18 have not developed mentally as much as adults have, and thus it would be scientifically unethical to try them as adults.
