Sweden plans to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 13 for severe crimes like murder, attempted murder, aggravated rape, and bombings, effective July 3, 2026, as part of a temporary five-year measure. この変化は,ギャング関連の暴力犯罪に係る若者の増加を目指すもので,重症の13歳の少年の懲役2年間を懲役に処する. The change, aimed at addressing rising youth involvement in violent gang-related crimes, allows for up to two years in youth prison for 13-year-olds in extreme cases. 未成年の犯罪を除外する政策は,当初14を勧告したが,126団体の協議後13に進歩した2025年の政府調査に続き,そのほとんどが反対した. The policy, which excludes minor offenses, follows a 2025 government inquiry that initially recommended 14 but was advanced to 13 after consulting 126 organizations, most of which opposed it.
