What is juvenile death penalty? How is it applied to cases? Are there limitations on its application? Do you believe that juvenile death penalty should be included in American crime control policies? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Students must refer to the cases that shaped juvenile death penalty (Kent v. United States, Eddings, v. Oklahoma, Thompson v. Oklahoma, Stanford v. Kentucky, or Roper v. Simmons). Today, according to Stanford v. Kentucky, there is no national consensus against the execution of juveniles aged 16 and 17. The Supreme Court has not concluded anything about juveniles under 16 years of age. Students must provide their position on juvenile death penalty. They may use the cases as support for their positions.
