How to apply the legal provisions on the age of criminal responsibility in China's criminal law? The legal provisions and judicial interpretations are as follows: A person who has reached the age of 1 year should bear criminal responsibility for committing a crime. It is worth noting that people who have reached the age of 16 will bear full criminal responsibility for committing crimes. This is a presumption based on the consideration of the general physical and mental maturity of people who have reached the age of 16. 2. A person who has reached the age of 14 but under the age of 16 commits the crime of intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury or death, rape, robbery, drug trafficking, arson, explosion and poisoning, and shall bear criminal responsibility. Different from the above, the age of criminal responsibility here is relative. That is to say, a person who has reached the age of 14 and is under the age of 16 will bear criminal responsibility only when committing the above-mentioned criminal acts. 3./kloc-People under the age of 0/4 are not criminally responsible. It should also be noted here that this age stage is completely irresponsible. 4. A person who has reached the age of 14 but under the age of 18 commits a crime, and shall be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. 5./kloc-Those under the age of 0/6 will not be punished, and their parents or guardians will be ordered to discipline them, and if necessary, they can be adopted by the government. 6. A person who has reached the age of 75 who commits a crime may be given a lighter or mitigated punishment; Whoever commits a crime negligently shall be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. The above are the answers to questions such as what is the age of criminal responsibility, what are the provisions of the law and how to apply them. We know that age is very important for the determination of criminal responsibility, especially at the critical point of age cut-off. Therefore, if you encounter age-related problems, you should consult a lawyer in time, do a good job in coping strategies, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the actor in time.
