Thank you for your patience as we develop this section of the website.

• Don’t young people commit most of the crimes?
• If you are not tough on criminals when they are children, don’t they reoffend?
• Aren’t young people more violent than they used to be? Isn’t prison the best deterrent?
• Which countries hold most children in detention?
• What is the ‘minimum age of criminal responsibility’ and at what age should it be set?
• Shouldn’t young people be accountable for their actions if we say that they are capable to participate in the decisions affecting them?
• Who commits most of the crime? Isn’t there an increase in crimes by girls all over the world? 
• Isn’t it true that children who have been sexually abused as children go on to commit sexual abuse?
• If alternatives to detention are supposed to work so well, then why aren’t more governments investing more into them?
