4. Decide what sentence the young offenders severe/lenient/appropriate should get.

They should get lenient sentence. Young offenders shouldn‘t be punished severely, because they are still
learning and they don‘t have much experience in life, so they might act without thinking of the
consequences. I think they should get a warning and a lenient sentence such as having them do
community service or pay a fine. The important thing for young offenders is to realize their mistake and
learn from it.
