3.- Before watching the news, discuss these questions with your student

1. "Should the punishment for juvenile offenders be the same as that for adult offenders?"
2. "Should the age of criminal responsibility be lowered or raised?"
3. "Is the current legal system effective in addressing crimes committed by young people?"
4. "How can we prevent young people from committing crimes and address the root causes of their criminal behavior?"
5. "What is the best way to rehabilitate young offenders and reintegrate them into society?"
6. "What are the long-term consequences for young people who have been in the criminal justice system?"
