I put no moral construct on it. One may commit a serious crime without an extensive sentence for the reasons stated. Like I said, even murder does not merit it if done out of the heat of the moment. However, failure to internalize societal values and norms is evidence of a lack of learning all-important life lessons. Without norms, a society cannot function, humans do not know how to interact. Norms establish what is appropriate, not necessarily moral, behavior.
Age, the mere existence of the passage of time on a human body, does not mean that one has learned anything. Socialization, internalization of values and norms as well as a society's culture (language, foods, history, and so forth), is evidence of life lessons. Failure to completely internalize these results in deviant behavior.
