I disagree with people arguing that only some crimes should grant trial as adult - Either you're trialed as an adult for ALL Crimes or you're trialed as a child/adolescent and given proper measures. I think most people forget that most punishment methods against minors involves a correction facility and in many ways it is as bad as a prison and limits your freedom. As a general rule, I think between 15-16 years old is fine to be trialed as an adult. The main argument to support less bad punishment for minors and young adults, as I learned in class, is that the younger someone is, specially highly influenciable people like teens, the easier it will be to rehabilitate them.
