Top judges join call for England and Wales to raise age of criminal responsibility to 14

Children can be investigated by police, charged with a crime and put on trial from age 10, the joint lowest age in Europe

Hopefully this happens. Disgraceful product of knee jerk legislation from Blair.

I find it nuts that the age a child becomes responsible for their actions and able to make informed decisions varies so much depending on what it is they're up to

To explain, I'm not sure there should be a DEFINITE criminal age of responsibility at all. Children mature at different ages.

I would much prefer a test on a case by case basis, using something like the M'Naghten rules for insanity. Did the child know what they were doing, and did the child know it was wrong.

That would be miles better than a blanket age for all cases.
