Age of “adult” discussion

After reading Chapter 13 and the "Who's a Kid?" article, do you think the current age of 18 is appropriate to classify a person as an adult or do your think the age of 18 should be increased/decreased and if so, to what age? Explain your answer (Why or why not?). Should we set a new age range (for example, from 18-22) where a person who commits a crime while in that range is treated differently than a juvenile and an adult? Why or why not?
