The Romanian Ministry of Justice is considering lowering the criminal responsibility age from 14 due to rising school violence. Minister Radu Marinescu announced that legislative changes are being evaluated, including exceptions for minors under 14 if discernment is proven. Current laws state that minors under 14 cannot be held criminally responsible, while those aged 14 to 16 can only be prosecuted if discernment is established. The minister emphasized the need for careful analysis and consultation with experts before implementing any changes. Additional measures include increasing security personnel and psychological support in schools.
