Overall Feedback
Hi Yolanda,
It looks like you have a good idea of what you would like to focus on in the final paper!
A few notes to keep in mind:
Your thesis looks interesting!
You’ll also want to delve into the case of Roper v. Simmons, as it was a landmark decision in this area.
Is there a significant difference when it comes to how various states treat juvenile defendants? If so, comparing two states might be interesting.
Additionally, is this an issue that tends to receive a great deal of attention from elected officials? Either way, this might be interesting to explore.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can be of any help as you research and write your final paper!
