What do you think the age of criminal responsibility should be UK?
Q. The criminal age responsibility is set at 10 and over in the UK. Some people find this too young? I think it should be lowered to at 7 years and over in the UK and around the world it should be set at that age. Children at this age know exactly the difference between bad behaviour and serious wrongdoings. What do you think? I disagree with you all.Children know what is right from wrong at even 3 for god sake! Not a child psychologist no, but children at 7 years of age over can take on responsibility of there actions.Almost 3,000 crimes were reported by under-10s .If you go along to any estate and see the age of kids marauding around like a pack of wolves, you'd see that reducing the age of criminal responsibility to seven would be vital.J [cont.]

A. It should be based upon a psychological assessment of the individual . Some 10 yr olds are street wise beyond their years . Others are not . There should be no set level .

Should America raise the age of criminal responsibility to 18?

A. The are judged by a youth court. The judge first tries to warn the child, place it with foster parent, placing in an open correction institute (kind of school where you stay resident). In very servere cases or repeated criminal conduct, the older childs can be put in a closed correction institute with other "hard" cases". Never are children put into a prison with adult criminals. If there is no place vacant in the closed institutes, the judges decide in general to liberate the child. Whatever happens never in prison

A. If the child is under 10 years old then they are legally unable to be held culpable for their criminal actions. from 10 -14 the prosecution must establish what is called requisite capacity, that is that they must understand what they did was wrong. from 14 -16 you are criminally responsible for all your actions. And in QLD you are considered to be legally an adult at 17. (can't vote ,drink etc) but your offences will be heard before a magistrate and not a childrens court.

Q. The Ministry of Justice, rejected the idea proposed by England's children's commissioner, to raise the age of criminal responsibility.

A. Might be going against the trend but I am not sure a 10 year old can be held accountable for some types of criminal behavior. If a child is delinquent at ten I would stick my neck out and suggest that unless there are some psychological issues (in that case not criminal) then this behavior is learnt. At the age of ten most of this learnt behavior would stem from the home or childcare. A ten year old child has only had 3650 days on this planet and however they behave at this age has been influenced by those who have been here a lot longer. Yes. Make the parents responsible.

Questioning information given?
Q. Just some moments ago, I provoked my younger brother who already has a mental problem by making small comments like "you're a big meanie" etc. Nothing that would cause someone of sound mind to attack another person. As he approached me I put my hand in his face to taunt him and that's when he attacked me. I did not attack him back because I knew the consequences that would have meant. My mother dials 911 and the police arrive shortly thereafter. First, one of the two officers asks me a question and I redirect him to my mother who made the phone call. He had me wait on the front porch instructing me not to move, I did and he told me again and it would be the final time. In the latter, I spoke with both officers. I live in Connecticut and… [cont.]

Just punishment what would you advise ?
Q. As Justice of the Peace for Colwick and Mustique I have now hanged three commoners, two for littering and one for fly tipping the fly tipper was the local postman attempting to deposit a ruddy council tax bill into one s post box. However a bedraggled dishevelled old sole (97) came before me pleading poverty for riding his pedal cycle on the pavement without lights, now if the offence had been in the evening I would have had no choice but the hang the devil but it was day light and not wishing to be unkind I am unsure if I should have him flogged with the 5mm Birch or flogged with the cat o nine tails what would you advise, also when deliberating you must take into account the seriousness of the offence, the mere fact that the smelly… [cont.]

A. Did you not get my memo dated the 5th inst. In it I said hang the swine and be done with it, far to many layabouts are sponging off the parish and something has to be done about it. My last attempt to open the old workhouse was foiled by a certain unscrupulous bounder who bailed them out to work on his estate. Workhouses were designed to accommodate the filthy and the poor, it is their right to enter the afore mentioned establishment and occupy their leisure time picking oakum or such things. I was rather hoping that they would form a workhouse glee club to sing at the hunt ball while we ate, a little harmonious singing by the downtrodden helps with the digestion.

Is the society collapsing? UK?
Q. The other day, my 7yr old son was attacked by an older boy of about 4 yrs which left bruising. I reported it to the police and they said that his attacker was below the age of criminal responsibility. Yesterday I reported to the police seeing a woman chase youths down the street with a knife and they did nothing as they needed more evidence although many witnesses saw her. Today the police approached me for info and I was reluctant to help knowing that they cant protect me or my family from the repercussions and they threaten me with action if I dont help. I feel so insecure and depressed. Why are they putting pressure on me? I have never been in trouble with the police before nor am I known for been a problem neighbour or anything. Why… [cont.]

A. Too much legal protection for young people, they can do whatever and have no responsibility. I can understand how you would feel, that it was all futile and putting yourself and others at risk helping. The whole country feels the same. The police caution people again and again and have little or no power over people of a certain age, as the law says they can't be responsible for their actions. It's all hogwash. We just end up with adult criminals not responsible for their actions, using younger perpetrators where possible. The law is still a big ass and the police have little power over those who choose to be anti social/criminal. Thus little power to protect the rest of us and have to fill out a million forms every time they sneeze.
