Saint Leo University Child Homicide Discussion

 

I’m working on a criminal justice question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Controversial statement: The more common situations of child homicide arise not out of the intent to kill the child; rather it is the end result of harsh punishment. Therefore such offenders should not be handled in criminal courts and the offenses should be criminal offenses, but rather the cases should be handled in juvenile and domestic relations courts.
