1. What is a person claiming when he/she claims justification of a crime based on the claim that it was committed under duress?

Juveniles are tried and sentenced differently than adults because they are assumed to be too young to fully comprehend the consequences of the criminal act.
Although by definition criminology and criminal justice may seem close together, differences may seem slight and in many ways they are but they do take somewhat different approaches to the study of crime and criminals.
When criminologists want to obtain detailed information about something related to crime they use intense interviews and/or observation, such as observing a gang.
An individual generally has to show that they were in fear for their safety or life. For example, if someone held a gun to your head and forced you to run a red light, you would probably be found not guilty of running the light due to duress.
