In the article "On Punishment and Teen Killers" by Jennifer Jenkins states that teenagers should be punished harsher for their crimes. "If brain development were the reason, then teens would kill at roughly the same rates all over the world. They do not. Advocates often repeat, but truly misunderstand brain research on this issue. The actual science does not, according to experts such as Professor Stephen Morse, and others, in any way negate criminal culpability." She doesn't take any of the research based on the development of the teenage brain into further consideration, instead she uses a hostile tone throughout the entire article.  She states that the death penalty has been abolished yet teen criminal are living the good life even behind bars. The author is very biased toward teenage criminals because a teenager murdered her youngest sister and her husband. Her sister was pregnant and begged for the life of her first unborn child. I can relate to her perspective because she wants justice for her murdered loved ones, but it wouldn't be fair to punish a child harshly either. She also mentions that their should be a reform that will benefit the victims. One thing she didn't provide proof for was when she said, "the offender advocates have also promoted another horrible lie." What horrible lie? The author has no proof whatsoever to backup what she said.
