Name 'Em and Shame 'Em

Up in Kannapolis a man has been murdered, and a 15-year-old human has been charged with the crime.

In most jurisdictions, juveniles are left unnamed and unpictured when they commit a crime, the rationale being that to name them and publicly shame them by making their identity public prevents them from making a new start or getting past a childhood mistake. Well, maybe that's worth trying for a minor first offense, such as shoplifting or criminal mischief crimes such as vandalism, but for murder or rape the crime is too serious for the perpetrator to be given such a kindness, and it dishonors the victim by doing so. If perhaps you wish to hold off on naming and shaming the perpetrator until after they are convicted I can go along with that, but at a certain point their picture needs to be in the news media with the caption murderer or rapist or habitual thief.

Just my opinion.
