Innovations of law Islamic punishment 1392 About the responsibility of children and adolescents

In the New Islamic Penal Code of 1392، the criminal responsibility of immature people has undergone significant changes and innovations. In chapter 10 of this law، attempts have been made to defend as much as possible the immature people، both in terms of definitions and in terms of punishments and retaliation. These efforts have led to a better and more efficient law enforcement than ever before. So that the legislator has changed the age of criminal responsibility from evasion and recognition gradually and distinguishes between the age of physical and mental maturity. The legislator has removed the age separation of girls and boys and defined the child as under the age of eighteen. The new law for children and adolescents is divided into four age groups: under the age of 9، 9-12، 12-15، and 15 to 18 years old. Also، in crimes punishable by reprisal and retaliation، the judge has been given a judge for 15 to 18 years to use the views of forensic experts to prove rational development. In this law، the retaliation is still not completely eliminated and the execution of qisas is subject to the mental rationalization of the child as well as the confirmation of the adult child from the forensic medicine. This paper attempts to investigate the age of criminal responsibility and changes in the child's criminal liability.
