Punishment for youth crime

The example dismays me a lot:John Doe ,who was 15 years old,was charged with Grand Theft Auto and Possession Over 1000 dollars.When he was asked the reason why he committed this crime,he responded,"I did it for something to do-it was all for fun."And he went on to say,"I knew the law.I knew the worst thing that could happen was serving some community hours because I was a young offender and it would be my first offence."
He felt nothing even insensitive both when committing the crime and after being arrestted.I felt sorry for his act.But I know he is just one of those who are still young ,regarding committing crime as fun .In the past,people thought that it was ignorance which caused teenagers to commit crime,such as to pilfer,to rob,to fight and even more sever-sexual harassment.But now things are going opposite,the reason why so many teenagers are going astray is that the know the law for them quite well,they have no fear for the punishment,no scruple for their rest of life.So they want to try something new,something exiting,something would make himself get rid of the boring life,as a result and due to the tolerance and concern society provides to teenagers,they absolutely choose an unfamiliar way to satisfy themselves-crime.
So I think first we should establish a new feasible legislation,which can deter those who feel nothing even fun committing crime.The Federal Justice Minister has said that,"Throwing children or teenagers who break the law into prisons designed for adults makes no sense."Even I can not imagine those teenagers who have committed crimes squatting in the corner of the jail for adults,trembling frighteningly.This can cause them a series of aberrant personality.So I think authorities should build a special place for those teenagers who have committed crimes.Give them serious punishment which could let them never forget the lesson.Let every teenager know that how severe they commit crime!
And one most important thing must not be denied,that is put education at the first place.A rational view has been spoken by Justice Minister, McLellan."The legislation is part of a wider strategy dealing with youth crime that doesn't always involve judges and jails, but community-based efforts to prevent kids from becoming criminals."
