Grammar
A Relative Pronoun
Some people say the maxmum age of juvenile court jurisdiction should be lowered.
Is this above correct? Can I say:
Some people say we need to lower the maximum age at which offenders are punished in juvenile courts.
Could you give me another example using a relative pronoun?
What is opposite to 'lower'? 'Higher' or 'increase'?
Thanks

There is no relitive pronound in your first example - it was removed, which is the style of choice for most editors, seeing that there is nothing wrong with removing a relitive that doesn't function as the subject of the sentence.. Add 'that' before the 'the' for a relitive pronoun.

Thanks Chrismlangan.
In the second sentence I used which. I want to know the better usage of relative pronoun after 'we need to lower the maxmum age' clause.
I thout at first 'at which'. If I use 'in which', what clause will follow this?

Yes, you can say it. You changed the meaning from jurisdiction to punishment, but you can
