Wolfgang	BS: Highering Age of Criminal Responsibility (70* d)	RE: BS: Highering Age of Criminal Responsibility	14 Mar 10
In Germany, we have the age of criminal responsibility at 14 and there are some discussions to lower it to twelve. Quite recently, an old woman was tortured for hours by two 13 year old boys and nearly died. The boys will not be punished. The second step comes between 18 and 21. Below 18, the perpetrator has to be punished by a special youth court with 10 years being the maximal sentence even for multiple murder. And, other than for adults, after half of the time, that is after 5 years in jail, the youth may be set free if the prognosis is good. After 21, adult law has to be applied and between 18 and 21, youth law may be applied depending upon the maturity of the respective guy. Wolfgang
