After the case of a junior high school student murdering a classmate with a knife, all walks of life began to actively examine and discuss how to mentor teenagers' deviant behaviors. In addition to the police's strong inspection of places prone to behavioral deviations and the prevention of gangs from absorbing minors, some voices also called for imitation. Japan and South Korea have lowered the age threshold for handling juvenile incidents.

Lawyer Li Yusheng explains the issue of liability for minor crimes

Lawyer Li Yusheng said that the behavior of juveniles over 12 years old and under 18 years old violates the criminal law. In accordance with the provisions of the Juvenile Incident Handling Act, the juvenile court judge will first conduct an investigation of the juvenile's character, experience, physical and mental condition, family situation, social environment, After investigating and interviewing the educational level, the judge will then give certain protective measures to the offending juvenile according to the circumstances of the case, such as admonishing, placing him under protective control and ordering him to serve in labor, placing him for placement, or even ordering him to a reformatory education facility for reformatory education, which is to enter Juvenile Correctional School Life. As a result of the investigation, if it is determined that a juvenile between the age of 12 and under 18 has violated the criminal penalty law, he or she is guilty of a crime for which the lightest penalty is a fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years. Or if the juvenile reaches the age of twenty after the incident enters judicial proceedings, the judge of the juvenile court will make a decision to transfer the juvenile to the prosecutor for investigation and enter the juvenile criminal case procedure.
That is to say, if a juvenile commits a felony with a term of imprisonment of more than five years or enters the judicial system after the juvenile has reached the age of 20, although the applicable procedures are different, he still has criminal responsibility.
Lawyer Li Yusheng further stated that legal measures must simultaneously pay attention to the protection of human rights, the protection of minors, and the effect of deterring crime. If the age limit for punishing major crimes is appropriately revised downwards, and the supervision of minors is increased, Management measures can help minors understand that they are also responsible for their own actions, which should be effective in reducing crime.
