Criminal Law Challenges and Response Strategies under the Trend of Juvenile Crime in China.

The present study explores the issue of juvenile delinquency, a problem that has become increasingly evident in contemporary society. The causes of this phenomenon are multifaceted, including social changes, the development of modern science and technology, and the lack of legal knowledge among minors. The resulting increase in juvenile involvement in crime has led to significant challenges in the field of prevention. In China, the trend of juvenile delinquency is particularly pronounced, and the existing legal policies and penal measures have proven ineffective in addressing the issue. The purpose of this paper is threefold: firstly, to discuss the current situation and reasons for the aging of juvenile delinquency in China; secondly, to explore the application of juvenile delinquency in criminal law and the challenge to the existing criminal law system; and thirdly, to point out the inadequacy of the existing laws on juvenile delinquency in our country. It will also elaborate on how to build a better criminal law system to effectively deal with juvenile delinquency. In the first chapter, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of China's current laws on juvenile delinquency, with a comparative analysis of both domestic and international legislation. It also delves into the evolution of juvenile delinquency criminal punishment measures in China. The subsequent chapter will address the trend of underage crime, the current state of juvenile delinquency in the country, and the characteristics of juvenile delinquency. Additionally, it will highlight the deficiencies in the criminal law that pertain to underage juvenile delinquency. The rationality of lowering the age of criminal responsibility will also be discussed. The third chapter will synthesise a case with the countermeasures in China to analyse the response to juvenile delinquency. The discussion will span from the social and legal levels, proposing ways to prevent and stop juvenile delinquency and the process of aging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
