瑞典将严重罪行的刑事责任降低到13人,引发了对青年监禁和权利的辩论。 Sweden lowers criminal responsibility to 13 for serious crimes, sparking debate over youth incarceration and rights.

瑞典在将刑事责任年龄从15岁降低到13岁之后,将允许13岁的儿童从7月1日起因严重罪行而被监禁。 Sweden will allow children as young as 13 to be imprisoned for serious crimes starting July 1, after lowering the age of criminal responsibility from 15. 这一变化是由青年越来越多地参与暴力帮派和与毒品有关的犯罪所驱动的,包括在8个设施中设有特别监狱单位,提供教育、娱乐和医疗服务,与成年人分开,并有有限的夜间监禁。 The change, driven by rising youth involvement in violent gang and drug-related crimes, includes special prison units in eight facilities with education, recreation, and medical services, separate from adults and with limited nightly confinement. 这场为期五年的审判颇具争议, 面临多数咨询机构和儿童权利团体的反对, 他们警告会增加累犯和人权问题。 The five-year trial is controversial, facing opposition from most consulted agencies and children’s rights groups who warn of increased recidivism and human rights concerns.
