The Supreme People’s Procuratorate held a press conference today to introduce the relevant situation of the 30-year prosecution work of minors. An excellent brand for adult prosecutorial work, publishing typical cases.
In recent years, “school violence” incidents and serious criminal cases of young minors have attracted widespread attention. Some people believe that the number of minors should be reduced. The age of criminal responsibility.
In this regard, Shi Weizhong said that in recent years, school violence incidents, typically bullying and extortion among classmates, have been on the rise. Violent crimes on campus are often gang-related, and in some cases minors commit crimes with cruel and reckless methods, which has aroused strong social repercussions. In addition, news about minors under the age of 14 committing murder, rape and other vicious crimes appear in the newspapers from time to time, which is very distressing. In the face of the increase in school violence and vicious criminal cases among young minors, whether it is necessary to lower the age of criminal responsibility, we should pay attention to the following issues.
First, practice has proven that criminal punishment alone cannot effectively solve the problem of juvenile crime. Because minors’ illegal crimes are ultimately due to social reasons. In particular, our country is currently in a period of social transformation, and there are many factors that cause minors to be harmed and then harm others. It can be said that minors who commit crimes are often both harmors to society and victims of adverse environments. In this case, punishment is only a means of crime management and cannot cure all diseases. Social problems require comprehensive measures.
Second, current research in psychology, education and other disciplines shows that adolescence is a period when a person is extremely prone to deviance. “Crisis period”, as minors grow older, their deficiencies in self-control may heal on their own. During this period, we should try to reduce the negative factors that lead to minors’ illegal crimes and purify the social environment by strengthening prevention and control measures. Only in this way can we achieve better results. If we only emphasize crackdowns blindly, it will push the minors involved in crimes to the opposite side of society and lose the good opportunities for education, reform, and rescue.

Third, for serious violent crimes committed by minors, such as major homicide and robbery cases, prosecutors Institutions must adhere to the principles of tolerance but not indulgence, care and strict control. We implement the policy of “education, reformation, and rescue” and the principle of “education first, punishment supplementary” for minors. However, this principle does not negate the criminal sanctions for minors’ crimes, but emphasizes the finality and finality of punishment methods. Substitutability. Appropriate use of punishment methods does not violate the basic concept of the juvenile justice system. Punishment is also for education.
Minors who commit serious crimes must be punished in accordance with the law; on the one hand, they must not be condoned but must be cracked down on; on the other hand, they must be For those who cannot be criminally punished because they have not reached the age of criminal responsibility, relevant departments should be urged or recommended to strengthen management, care and correction.
Fourth is that based on differences in national conditions, the age of criminal responsibility is not exactly the same in various countries. At present, whether my country needs to lower the age of criminal responsibility, Shi Weizhong said that he thinks it should go through a lot of practical demonstration and theoretical research. In this regard, he will conduct in-depth research and thinking in conjunction with case handling to provide a reference for the proper solution of relevant issues.
