Cambridge Educational - Juveniles and the Death Penalty

Juveniles and the Death Penalty

This extraordinary 48 Hours program visits a number of Death Row inmates who committed murder before they were 18 and talks with prosecutors, defense attorneys, and surviving family members about the kind of punishment appropriate to criminals who were juveniles when they committed their crimes. Is there a moral as well as a legal distinction? If the criminal is old enough to commit murder, is he old enough to be executed? Is society’s goal deterrence? revenge? Have we lost all hope of rehabilitating the young? The convicted murderers are extraordinarily articulate as they demonstrate a range of attitudes, from regret to anomie to religious conversion.
