theme 12/21/1993 (1993)

The theme of the release is child crime.

Crime every year becomes younger, although the main age of juvenile offenders is 16-18 years.

Maybe because criminal liability usually comes from now on.

They have been convicted of hijacking from the age of 16, for murder from the age of 14, for theft from 14 and 16 years.

There are 19,300 offenders in juvenile detention facilities.

For 10 months of 1993, 174568 crimes have already been committed.

Children are brought up at home, at school, at the police, and yet 70% of adolescents, who have never even been considered difficult, have once heard for the first time: “Recognize guilty”.
