The cruelty and badness of the juvenile’s criminal methods have aroused public nerves.

　　CCTV News:Recently, an incident happened three months ago, which caused widespread public concern because of a paper notification from the High-tech Branch of Xiaogan Public Security Bureau in Hubei Province. A local junior high school girl was robbed by her primary school male classmate with a knife, forced to take off her clothes and stabbed with scissors, with multiple wounds all over her body. However, after the perpetrators were arrested by the police, they were released without criminal responsibility because they were under 14 years old.

　　On March 30 this year, while waiting for the elevator, the girl Xiao Zhang was held hostage by the boy Xiao Huang with scissors, robbed and stabbed by scissors. Because the legal minimum age of criminal responsibility has not been reached, the case has been dismissed at present … …

　　Hubei province Xiaogan bureau of public security gaoxin district branch bureauThe suspect, Huang, was born in September 2004. At that time, the police station had already filed a case, and finally the case was revoked, because this person under the age of 14 was not enough to file a case.

　　Victim Xiao Zhang’s mother: "I don’t want any compensation. I want his children to go to jail now. What their children do is not something that minors do at all."

　

　　While the perpetrator Xiao Huang was "arrested and released" by law enforcement agencies, the victim Xiao Zhang, who was the same age as him, suffered physically and mentally because of being bullied innocently.

　　Victim Xiao Zhang’s mother: "Hemothorax, hospitalized for 16 days, unable to eat or drink for 10 days. These are the physical pains my children suffered. They cried like crazy at home, crying and yelling … … Bite yourself and prick yourself. "

　　The victim Xiao Zhang and her mother said that when the girl entered the corridor and waited for the elevator after school that day, a boy rushed out of the corner of the corridor and held Xiao Zhang’s neck with a knife.

　　Victim Xiao Zhang’s mother: "When the stairs were not monitored, he threatened my child to take the stairs to the fourth floor. Room 401 was unoccupied, so he asked her for money when he went in, and then the child said that I didn’t have any money … … He asked my girl to take off all her clothes, leaving nothing left. "

　　According to the victim Xiao Zhang, the victim Xiao Huang has at least four kinds of knives, such as scissors, double-edged knives and fruit knives.

　　Victim Xiao Zhang’s mother"He didn’t stab his neck with a knife, stabbed his thigh twice, and had a dozen knives in his neck. He ran to another room. Then my girl jumped from the fourth floor to the third floor platform at that time. "

　　In the past few days, the incident has caused widespread heated discussion in society. For a time, the voice of "lowering the age of criminal responsibility" has been rising.

　　"Beijing Youth Daily" commented: It is obviously not the society ruled by law that people pursue to blindly pay attention to the care of the perpetrators and treat the victims indifferently. In addition, among the netizens who participated in the discussion, 87% thought that the age of criminal responsibility should be lowered.

　　Tong Lihua, Director of Beijing Youth Legal Aid and Research Center: "It really expresses a social concern. At present, there is a lack of effective legal measures for acts that seriously undermine social order under the age of 14, which is what everyone says. ‘ Is it because you are young that no one cares if you commit a crime at the age of 13, 45? ’”

　　[News Watch] The problem of juvenile delinquency is outstanding.

　　In recent years, juvenile delinquency cases have occurred frequently, and the cruelty and abomination of their criminal methods have constantly stirred the public’s nerves. At the same time, the problem of juvenile delinquency is even more worrying.

　

　　In June last year, the Comprehensive Trial Chamber of Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court issued the White Paper on Comprehensive Trial of Juvenile Cases. According to the data of the court since its establishment eight years ago,Minors who have reached the age of 16 and under the age of 18 commit crimes, accounting for 85.04% of the total number of juvenile crimes; Minors who have reached the age of 14 and under the age of 16 commit crimes, accounting for 14.96%, and the cruel consequences of criminal means are serious.　

　　Sun Jungong, spokesman of the Supreme People’s Court.: "The impulsive, irritable and immature personality characteristics of teenagers, as well as the poor self-control ability and psychological instability of minors are an important reason for crime."

　

　　The "White Paper" also mentioned: "The younger age of crime is a prominent feature of juvenile delinquency at present, which should arouse the general concern and attention of the society." However, in reality, some campus violence is finally lost because of the young age of the perpetrators.

　　In June, 2015, the police in Beihai City, Guangxi announced a violent beating of a primary school girl. Seven minors were involved in the beating, all of whom were students at school.

　　Li Rungen, Deputy Director of Ganjiang Police Station in Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region: "Of the seven children involved, six are 13 years old and under 14 years old, and one is 14 years old and a few months old. The girl who was beaten was an 11-year-old sixth-grade elementary school girl."

　　After the incident, seven students involved were summoned to the local police station, and the result was only an apology to the victim. In view of more and more violent incidents of minors, some experts and scholars suggest that the starting point of criminal responsibility should be lowered.

　

　　Kang Liying, Professor, School of Education, Capital Normal University: "When I was interviewing juvenile offenders, many juvenile offenders knew that they had to work hard before the age of 14, and you could do it before the age of 16, but you should restrain yourself after the age of 16. They don’t break the law because they don’t know the law. This is quite frightening. If we don’t know the law, we can strengthen the education in the legal system. If he knows that he wants to do a big job, it shows that our law is lacking. "
