You can probably find more information about him by Googling: Clarence Johnson murder

I would also suggest a great amount of skepticism on "news accounts" of criminals which proport to give psychological background that is accurate. Usually, is is far from it.

I looked at this story, but I am worried that he would no be an adolescent. Since this person is 18 are they not an adult?

I am really having a hard time with this assignment. Writing the response is not hard, just find articels, since most juvenille information is not public.

It looks as though he was only 16 when he committed this murder.

According to this account, he was 17 when the trial began in May, 2008. Since the murder happened in Feb., 2007, that would make him 16 at the time.

You're welcome.

To find a recent news article about an adolescent offender, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by searching on reputable news websites such as CNN, BBC, NPR, or Associated Press. These sites often have a dedicated section for crime or local news.

2. Use specific keywords related to adolescent offenders, such as "juvenile offender," "teen offender," or "adolescent crime." Combine these keywords with terms that describe the behavior you are interested in, such as "development of behavior," "criminal behavior patterns," or "behavioral changes."

3. If you are specifically interested in recent articles, you can add a time frame to your search. For example, you can search for articles published within the last month or year by using the "Tools" or "Advanced Search" options available on search engines like Google.

4. If you are still having trouble finding recent articles about adolescent offenders, try searching for specific cases that have recently been in the news. For example, search for names of notable adolescent offenders or recent legal cases involving juvenile offenders.

5. Additionally, consider searching on local news websites or searching for news articles from specific regions or countries, as regional news outlets may cover stories that other national or international sites may overlook.

If you are unable to find a recent news article specifically about adolescent offenders, it would be helpful to expand your search to include academic journal articles or scholarly publications that delve into the behavior and development of adolescent offenders. Resources such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, or specialized databases in the field of criminology or psychology can provide more comprehensive studies and research on the topic.
