Juvenile rapists should not be castrated or hanged right away but at the same time should not be allowed to get away with three year imprisonment of Juvenile Act, which is a joke. <br /><br />The Juvenile act needs some serious modifications, exceptions should be made to try the accused juvenile under adult law in cases of serious crimes. This would be lot better than lowering the juvenile age. In such serious crimes, like that of Delhi one, where a juvenile is the prime accused, the verdict can be as harsh as adult law allows it to be. <br /><br />It's already been recognised as rarest of rare cases which can lead to death penalty as per adult law. The juvenile who's capable of committing such can't-even-mention atrocities against the victim should be tried under adult law as he's fully aware of what he was doing. And hence the prime accused juvenile in Delhi case deserves to be and should be hanged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445604088553300714.post-37576042862027335002013-02-05T08:59:55.261+05:302013-02-05T08:59:55.261+05:30Wonderful, The article changed my dimension of thi...Wonderful, The article changed my dimension of thinking and the excerpt from the News paper is very goodRohith castelinonoreply@blogger.com
