The older the kid gets, the more aware they are of the consequences of their actions. Therefore, why shouldn't they be held responsible? How much awareness is required? At what age do we say that rehabilitation will be less effective than punishment?
rehabilitation
n 1: the restoration of someone to a useful place in society 2. To restore to good health or useful life, as through therapy and education.
(in other words, to be reasonably sure they won't commit said crime again)

totally agree here. it's all about raising kids right and disciplining them when they screw up. education is the key. i'm not a smart person but i know right from wrong. it's called morals and i have them.
