Abstract

At present, juvenile crimes in China show a trend of underage and violence, and vicious cases occur frequently, which is widely concerned by the public. Based on this, Amendments to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China (XI) promulgated in 2019 lowered the age of criminal responsibility in China from fourteen to twelve years old, but it is far from enough to curb the climbing rate of juvenile delinquency only by lowering the age of criminal responsibility. In order to effectively prevent juvenile delinquency and recidivism, emphasize the concept of protecting the healthy growth of minors, and considerate the physical and mental peculiarities of minors, it is imperative to build a graded intervention mechanism for juvenile delinquent. The graded intervention mechanism for juvenile delinquent has not been constructed, and there are still many imperfections. This paper will start from the perspective of examining the practice of this mechanism in our country, reviewing the problems existing in the current intervention for juvenile delinquent, clarifying the grading of the acts of crime and exploring the corresponding effective mode of intervention, with a view to providing reference and help for the realization of the principle of "educating, probating and rescuing" minors.
