What is the juvenile crime rate in China?

A recent survey conducted by the Committee for the Care of the Next Generation in Taiyuan City shows that in recent years, the proportion of juvenile delinquency in Taiyuan City is on the rise year by year, and the situation is worrying.

Characteristics of crime

The survey shows that from 2000 to 2003, 7.8% of the more than 30,000 criminal cases cracked in this city involved juvenile delinquency. Among the criminal suspects arrested in 2000, minors accounted for 8.7%, which soared to 18.2% in 2002 and 19. 1% in 2003.

In addition, juvenile delinquency also presents the following characteristics: First, the trend of younger age is obvious. In 2000, among the minors who committed crimes, 65,438+0.4% were under the age of 03, which increased to 30% in 2003. Second, it shows low awareness. Among the juvenile criminal suspects arrested in recent four years, 79.6% have a junior high school education (including primary school and illiteracy), while the senior high school education accounts for 16.5%, and the junior college education accounts for 3.9%. Third, juvenile delinquency is mostly "idle people", without schools and jobs. For example, in 2003, yingze district arrested 383 juvenile criminal suspects, including 370 unemployed people, 26 farmers and 20 migrant workers. Fourth, crimes against property are the most common, with theft, robbery and looting accounting for 94%, of which theft alone accounts for more than 60%.

Shao, director of the Research Office of the Supreme People's Court, said in Nanchang a few days ago that since 2000, the number of juvenile offenders whose judgments came into effect by courts at all levels in China has increased by about 13% annually on average (Xinhuanet September 19)-this is really an amazing growth rate, which exceeds the GDP growth rate that many people are proud of. According to the statistics of China Juvenile Delinquency Research Association, in recent years, the total number of juvenile delinquency accounts for more than 70% of the total number of criminal offences in China, among which juvenile delinquency cases aged 15 and 16 account for more than 70% of the total number of juvenile delinquency cases.
