Violent Juveniles Incidents of juvenile crimes in the country have risen significantly over the past few decades. These crimes have escalated to include murder as in the case under discussion. This has led members of the society to call for juvenile offenders who perpetrate heinous crimes such as murder to be tried as adults. This would be a wrong move since juveniles should be tried as children regardless of the gravity of the crime they have committed. The juvenile justice system is aimed at dealing with young offenders who are less rational and more vulnerable to influences from the environment. Rhodes insists that it is unfair to try children under the same rulings as adults, given their immature nature (176). The lower level of maturity predisposes children to engage in irrational behavior since they lack the mature and higher thought processes possessed by adults. It is likely that the teenagers in this case did not properly appreciate the consequences of their action. Trying them as adults would be an injustice since the perceptive ability of the young offender should be considered when dealing with them. The juvenile justice system was built for the primary purpose of rehabilitating young offenders rather than inflicting harsh punishments on them (Rhodes 180). The Juvenile courts therefore have the best interest of the child when they are meting out justice. Putting the teenagers through the adult court system will deny them a chance to benefit from the helping philosophy of the juvenile system. In spite of the seriousness of their crimes, the young offenders deserve to be accorded leniency, which is an integral part of juvenile justice. In addition to this, trying the children as adults will set precedence and it can be expected that more children will be transferred to adult courts in future. Employers Go Online Employees are increasingly using the internet to screen prospective hires in an attempt at finding the best candidate to fill in the position available position. This online screening has been aided by the vast amount of information that people post about themselves on personal websites and social networking sites. In my opinion, it is right for companies to use information obtained from the job applicant’s personal websites during the hiring process. Today’s job market is very competitive and there are normally many people competing for the same job. These potential hires might have equal qualifications and the employee might have to look for desirable personality traits such as agreeableness and emotional maturity in order to single out the best candidate. Such traits can be obtained from personal websites where individuals speak their minds and relate to others in an open manner (Albrechtslund 3). An employer can identify employees who are likely to be reliable on the job by reviewing what other people say about the person in his/her personal website. It is in the best interest of the employer to identify if the potential hire has any questionable relations or interests in life. It is unlikely that a person would reveal such details to the prospective employer during an interview. The personal website will be a good source of such information since people give
