Confruntat cu delincvența minorilor din bandele de infractori, guvernul italian a aprobat proiectul de lege care modifică regula răspunderii penale

Giorgia Meloni announced a new law regarding juvenile delinquency, simplifying the prosecution of minors aged 14 to 18. The law presumes minors' accountability unless proven otherwise, reversing the previous case-by-case evaluation. Justice Minister Carlo Nordio emphasized that this change aims to facilitate investigations and reflects a response to rising juvenile crime. Critics argue the law criminalizes an entire generation and fails to address the root causes of youth violence. Organizations like Save the Children warn that such measures cannot be effective if they mimic adult justice systems.
