"Down to 13 years old, in line with the current social development process." Xiao Fangsheng said in the motion that 13-year-old teenagers have basically completed primary education and entered junior high school. They have considerable recognition and control ability, and can understand the nature and significance of their own behavior. With the development of society, the material and cultural level has been improved. Many minors are tall, with rapid brain development and mature appearance, and their age is 12- 13.
In addition, the psychological development of minors is generally precocious. On the one hand, due to the influence of television, internet and new media, it is easier for minors to acquire rich knowledge, understand new things and form world outlook, outlook on life and values more quickly. But at the same time, it will also receive negative information, which will affect its psychological development. On the other hand, the school pays more attention to the moral education of minors, so the recognition ability and control ability of minors will be advanced accordingly.
"Now the age of juvenile delinquency is getting smaller and smaller, and the trend of juvenile delinquency is becoming more and more prominent. Some minor crimes are becoming more and more subjective and vicious, and the means are cruel, which seriously endangers social stability and the safety of citizens' lives and property. "Xiao Fangsheng said that because he did not reach the legal age of criminal responsibility, he could not be investigated for criminal responsibility and could only be punished through reeducation through labor or economic compensation. However, such punishment is extremely unfair to the victims, and it does not play a role in appeasing the victims and their families.
"Such an approach may also lead minors to continue to commit acts that endanger society without fear, and the fairness and authority of the law will also be questioned, thus losing the warning function and deterrent function of the law." Novel:
Xiao Fangsheng said that even if it is converted to 13 years old, it is not the lowest in the world. At present, the minimum age of criminal responsibility is 7 years in Switzerland and Singapore, 9 years in Mexico and the Philippines, 65,438+00 years in Britain, 65,438+02 years in Turkey and the Netherlands, and 65,438+03 years in Israel and France.
