Lowering the age of criminal responsibility not a solution: PG Shameem

Lowering the age of criminal responsibility is not a solution, said Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem, suggesting to change the environment where juvenile delinquents live.

In his most recent blog post titled "Juvenile offenders - The solution is not lowering the age, changing enivronment", Shameem wrote that police and some government officials believe that the solution to stopping child offenders is lowering the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 12 or ten.
