Read the story. You may research further on the internet to get background information.In the past week New York City police officers tragically shot and killed a 14 year-old who was armed with a gun and using it. This week I want you to review his background via the enclosed link and any other credible information. I want you to diagnose the problem with the juvenile. In your estimation did he need treatment or punishment? What treatment would you recommend? Based on your answers are you more along the lines of the classical school or the positivist school? Explain to other posts why you would agree or disagree with their opinion. What did they notice that you missed? TO BLAME THE POLICE OFFICER WHO NOW HAS TO LIVE WITH THE EVENT WOULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND WOULD BE WRONG.
