John Hatting believes that custody for children and young people under 18 is a violation of the UN Convention on the European Prison Rules and Human Rights. He pointed out that young people who are remanded lazy in custody often have serious mental illness and come from unstable homes with violence mm. Children and young people are more bothered by remand, they develop a negative youth culture. Not only does John Hatting's opinion, but a relationship that Youth Commission pointed out.
Hans Jørgen Engbo can see the positive in a lowering of the age of criminal responsibility to be raised charges. This will give the young people the right to counsel. At the same time Engbo believe that lowering the age of criminal responsibility should be accompanied by a provision that children and young people should not be remanded in custody or serving sentences in prisons. He spoke of a low "human age" which could help to clarify whether children and young people are guilty of what they are suspected. It is a burden to be suspected without being able to have his conviction resolved. lazy It happens to between lazy 5,000 and 8,000 children a year.

It fails municipalities often because it is too expensive. He also believes that we need to think differently and come up with some other bid than the hated institutions where young people just learn to be more criminals. It could be training, apprenticeships, lazy internships at work and participation in voluntary associations.
One belongs to a volunteer from the Red Cross Youth, supported the idea of using training as a way out of crime. Gert Jørgensen, who is chairman of the National Organization for the places of stay, was also in the audience. He emphasized the difference between the criminals on their age: "Children need to be helped, adults must be punished."
The politicians who are responsible for the later years of legislation were not many roses of the panelists and the audience at the meeting. Benny Lihme believe that politicians use children "as the great enemy" and thus leads signal Policy. Hans Jørgen Engbo believe lazy there is adopted many whoops-laws that are based on emotion, and John Hatting believes that the zero-tolerance policies currently facing the heavy end down - it is the weakest who ends up in prison.
