In addition, the elderly often face the pressure of old-age care and medical care, and the social support is relatively small, which may affect their behavior.
Therefore, in the criminal trial, the judge will combine the age, physical condition and behavior of the elderly to deal with the criminal acts of the elderly lightly. This kind of treatment helps to safeguard the dignity of the elderly, reduce their physical and mental stress, and help the society to pay better attention to and take care of their lives and health.
Of course, leniency does not mean complete impunity, and the elderly still need to bear corresponding responsibilities for their criminal acts. Therefore, in the criminal trial of the elderly, we should consider the special situation of the elderly as much as possible and make a fair and reasonable judgment.
