Age Requirement

I am quite bothered by how many cases we hear everyday of crimes involving minors. I personally think that the government should really do something about this real quick. There must be some adjustment with the age requirement on what age of a minor can be held liable for a crime. This is just a thought, but what if you are a parent of a crime victim which involves a minor as a perpetrator? Court would send that minor to social services or other institution not penal in nature. Would you feel justice was served? I fully understand the rationale behind not mixing minor criminals with adults because it affects their holistic growth but has anyone thought of a penal institution for minors? I know this won't be easy but for those who are on the same page, I really do think a penal institution for minors will be a milestone. Minor criminals aged 9 to 14 can be put behind bars at a penal institution specially made for minors. Fifteen years old and older criminals can certainly be integrated with adults as this age group are expected to have sound discretion of their action and decisions. I know that some of you might not agree with me but social services won't work for minor criminals. These children need to be in a setting where they would feel they are paying time behind bars because what they did was a "crime". If minor criminals continue to be cradled in social services setting they will never feel remorse for what they did. The government should really do something about this rising criminality rapidly committed by minors.
