RESPONSE ESSAY: SHOULD THE 17 YEAR OLD PERPETRATOR OF A GANG RAPE BE PUNISHED AS AN ADULT OR A JUVENILE?

India has been rocked by news of gang rapes in the preceding months the perpetrators of which have been caught. One of the attackers, who was 17 at the time, will only get a slap on the wrist. Is this fair or do you agree with the verdict? Read the following text and decide:"Delhi Gang Rape: Teenager Found Guilty". When you have done so, write a reaction or response essay. The link to the text is:   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-23908176
Suggestion: For a more challenging writing task, read the articles listed under "Case Time Line" and write a collective reaction essay.
Reminder: Response or reaction essays are based on emotive topics that excite strong reaction and are usually composed on four paragraphs: the first is the introduction, the second is the summary, the third is the reaction and the last is the conclusion.
