Both of these age limits have been set by the Oregon Legislature and approved by Oregon Governors who were selected by the people of the State of Oregon.  

I happen to agree with both age-related statutes, but it doesn't really matter because these are the laws of the State of Oregon whether I approve or not.  

 Some juveniles are sufficiently dangerous or their offenses are so heinous before they are 18 that adult prosecution is warranted.  

It applies to 15, 16 and 17 year olds but only for Murder, Manslaughter, Assault I and II, Kidnapping I and II, Rape I and II, Sodomy I and II, Unlawful Penetration I and II, Sexual Abuse I and II, Arson I, Compelling Prostitution, and Aggravated Vehicular Homicide.

Which of these do you think they should just be allowed to get juvenile detention or probation for?
