Should the age of criminal responsibility be raised?

 

 

Should the age of criminal responsibility be raised?

When a child is 10 years old they are not allowed to drink, vote, drive, buy a pet or get married. But they can be put on trial as an adult for murder.

In England and Wales, ten is the age of criminal responsibility and it is the lowest in any European Country. The UN has called for the age to be increased to 12.

Do you think a 10-year-old is too young to be put on trial for murder? Do you agree that the age should be raised?
