What is the right type of punishment? Final post

If a teen has committed crime, he/she should be punish accordingly, but there is no right way to punish teenager. The court must make a decision base on the background of juvenile teen upon whatever crime he/she committed.There is also a question of sanity, for example if the teen has some type mental problem then they should be sentence to mental institute, but for those who are sane should be punishable throught rehabilitation or in the care of the parent's. It doesn't help the fact that you put juveniles teen in the same place together because they'll just get worse by abusing each other. In prison, even if there are guard or patrol around it is not guaranteed (O'Malley).
