According to the Juvenile Law Center\, the U.S. Supreme Co urt has struck down state laws that sentence juveniles to death or life i mprisonment without the possibility of parole as cruel and unusual. Yet s ome states have no lower age limit for trying juveniles as adults. Given what we know about human brain development\, it is hard to argue that a t eenager has the same cognitive and emotional capabilities as an adult\; o n the other hand\, some teenagers commit gruesome crimes for which punish ment is appropriate. What are the underlying issues related to these deci sions? How can we appropriately balance accountability with the possibili ty for redemption for juveniles who commit serious crimes?  X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><head><title></title></head><body><p><s pan>In what ways are juveniles who commit crimes different from adult off enders?
