Should We Prosecute Young Children?



The Magistrates’ Association decided last week to reject a call for the age of criminal responsibility to go back to 14 years of age. The current age is 10 years. Our Head of Criminal Law, Andrew Parker, was involved in the notorious ‘Sutton Burglary Posse’ case in the 90’s that lead led to the change in the law from 14 to 10. We firmly believe that children of pubescent years should not be liable to prosecution.
