Sweden Halts Plan to Lower Criminal Responsibility Age to 13
STOCKHOLM, June 11 - Sweden's right of centre government will drop its controversial plan to cut the age of criminal responsibility to 13-years-old from the current 15-years-old, it said on Thursday.
The Swedish government has decided to abandon its proposal to reduce the age at which individuals can be held criminally responsible. Currently set at 15 years old, the plan aimed to lower this threshold to 13. The government, which is considered right-of-center, announced this decision on Thursday. This move follows considerable controversy surrounding the initial proposal.
This decision impacts how Sweden addresses juvenile crime and the age at which minors face legal consequences.
