"...juvenile offenders especially" ?
Hi all
Reintegrative shaming is an appropriate punishment option for juvenile offenders especially.
Would you say it doesn't read naturally with 'especially' ending the sentence? I am also not sure if I have expressed what I wanted to imply. I want to imply that although reintegrative shaming can be an appropriate punishment option for all types of offenders, it is especially appropriate for juvenile offenders.
Thank you

I think especially is fine at the end, but you could also do this: Reintegrative shaming is an appropriate punishment option , especially for juvenile offenders . It is a good thing to remember that communicative writers usually do not want to imply (= express or state indirectly) ; they want to express clearly and directly .

Thank you for your reply, MM.
I agree with what you've said. I should express myself clearly and directly instead of implyi
