In England, two teenage boys, aged 13 and 14 at the time of the attacks, were sentenced to four years' youth detention after their initial non-custodial sentences for raping and filming sex attacks on teenage girls were deemed unduly lenient by the Court of Appeal. This case has sparked public outcry and renewed debate about the age of criminal responsibility in the UK, which, at 10 years old, is among the lowest in Europe, shared with Switzerland. In contrast, Nordic countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland consider children under 15 too young for criminal prosecution, focusing instead on rehabilitation. Critics argue that criminalizing young children is immoral, citing neuroscientific evidence on adolescent brain development, and that policies of incarceration can exacerbate reoffending rates. Norway's approach, which prioritizes child protective services and counseling, has resulted in significantly lower reoffending rates compared to the UK, where nearly two-thirds of children released from custody reoffend within a year.
