Russia’s investigative chief laments that children can’t be jailed from age 12

Russia’s chief investigator is pushing for the age of criminal responsibility to be lowered to 12, highlighting concerns about the current system that doesn't allow children under 14 to be imprisoned. This controversial move has faced rejection so far, sparking debates about justice and rehabilitation. This issue matters because it touches on fundamental human rights and the ethical treatment of young offenders, raising questions about whether it's fair to punish children in the same way as adults. It also reflects broader discussions about crime prevention and societal attitudes towards youth delinquency.
