　　雅思大作文解題思路：

　　1. 應該，嚴肅的法律能起到一種威懾作用，讓青少年們不敢再次犯罪。舉例，今天我們對于青少年罪犯的法律懲罰實在是不痛不癢，甚至是太仁慈了，這讓年輕人藐視法律，他們會想，即使犯罪也沒什么大不。所以像成年人那樣懲罰他們很必要，比如說關監(jiān)獄，而不是簡單地口頭教導。這些痛苦的懲罰讓年輕人不敢隨便挑戰(zhàn)社會法規(guī)。

　　2. 然而，年輕人的司法體系應該更加靈活一些，這是因為年輕人很年輕，不成熟，他們的犯罪動機很可能不是那么邪惡。舉例，成年罪犯的搶劫動機很明確，就是通過襲擊他人來獲取財富。相比之下，青少年傷害他人的行為很可能只是因為來自同伴的壓力，或是因為一時沖動�？紤]到他們并不是有意要犯罪，所以給他們較輕的判罰是可以理解的。

　　Shouldyoung criminals be punished on the same level of adults, as some people argue?Personally, I agree with is assertion partially, while it underestimates theimportance of a flexible judgment on youngsters.

　　Themain reason of using the same standard to punish the youth is, it deters themfrom further crimes. Today, the main cause of juvenile crimes increasing is alenient juvenile judicial system and milder punishments like lighter sentences,shortened prison terms, or even probation. Youngsters think they can always getoff easily, regardless the seriousness of crimes. Therefore, it is necessaryfor juvenile offenders to be tried as strictly as adults, which lets theseyoungsters know that they are not exempt from heavy penalties, and not givenany special consideration because of their age factor. By this way, theirdesires of making illegal activities would be inhibited.

　　However,to a large extent, juvenile judicial system should be flexible. Psychologicallyspeaking, youngsters under the age of 18 are immature, with less socialexperience and concepts about social rules, or with no recognition about theconsequence. In many cases, young criminals have no idea that what they do isillegal. For example, compared with adult criminals who have the definite plansand goals to make money by hunting or killing victims, the testimony of manyteenage thieves and robbers proves that their movements are purposeless, andthe main reasons for them to do so are no more than peer pressure andimpulsiveness. Therefore, when it comes to the fact that adult criminals areintentional but young ones are unintentional, it is reasonable to treat andtrial them differently.

　　Inconclusion, a flexible juvenile judicial system should be encouraged. Althougha strict punishment to young offenders as adults might be a profound educationfor young generations, sentences on young offenders should be lighter,considering the fact that their intentions of breaking law are fundamentallydifferent from that of adults.(320)
