Do you think That It Is Better To Lower The Age Of Criminal Responsibility From 15 to 12 Years Old?
Now the age of minors who will have a conflict with the law will be held responsible even if they are only twelve years of age now in the Philippines. This law intends to rid of minors who are doing crimes in the country by arresting them when they do crimes and it aims to clean the country with criminality while reforming the said minors who are in conflict with the law.
But it doesn't mean that they will be incarcerated along with other criminals in a regular prison if they would commit crimes but instead they will be put in a reform institution to correct their ways and mindset in order for them not to break the law after they are disciplined by the government via institutionalizing them temporarily.
The law just means they will be arrested now when they commit crimes than just letting them go again by the police because of the current faulty laws regarding arresting minors and continue to commit crimes again but now the police will have the power to catch them and then turning them in to the reform institutions.
