Im old enough to remember when Sweden used to export cars. Now its criminals. I liked Volvo.
They will just recruit 12 years old then, duh.
I got a bad feelings about this…
Useless. Arrest the recruiters, break up the ghettoisation of the poorest neighborhoods, give alternatives to the kids. That’s how we greatly reduced the influence of the mafia on the youth in southern Italy
I live in Australia, NT. The government here raised the age for criminal liability a few years ago from 12 to 14. Crime went ballistic. A new government came in and lowered it again. Very slowly crime is decreasing.
This is an absolute nightmare.
Ethical societal methods will always lose in a race to the bottom against unprincipled criminal elements.
In response to lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 13, they’ll just start using 11-year-olds.
The only thing that would probably stop the criminals would be a measure where, for a committed crime, instead of the child, the adult accomplices and instigators would receive a 15-year (or longer) prison sentence.
This is not the solution, come on Sweden.
Nationalities of those gangs?
Anything but to address the root issue. The vast majority of Swedens violent gangs are ethnic. Citizenship is a privilege, not a right when you are an immigrant. Lowering the age of responsibility isn’t solving the issue.
Swedish immigration policy caused this.
Make gangs illigal for all ages? 🙂
They are children. How can a child be “responsible of a crime” ? Could they be responsible then of a car or drinking ? These are like children soldiers.
When is it okay to say that Swedish immigration policies have failed? Is this the time, or should we wait for 7-year-old child soldiers throwing grenades in Malmö?
Stopping the leaves of the poisoned tree from falling doesn’t cure the tree
Stripping citizenship and deportation of the whole family could be a good solution in the long run
“The prison and probation service also said the move could lead to negative consequences for children and that they should be cared for in “other ways”.”
wtf?
Anyways I am praying for Sweden. I wish a brighter future for you guys and appropriate legalisation can be a great step in the right direction
By the time a teenager has been recruited by criminals to do some of their dirty work, a lot has gone wrong already. Exit programs do exist, but I’m willing to bet these kids don’t feel like a part of society, or have high hopes of getting a regular job and building a regular life.
Hope this changes something for the better, though.
Inb4 they are recruiting literal babies for their crazy shit.
