The target age under the juvenile law is less than 20 years old Policy to maintain The two parties, July 29, 19:29
The LDP and Komeito each met to see if the target age for juvenile law protection should be reduced below 18 years of age in line with the reduction in adult age for the coming year. I accepted the policy of keeping it as it is.
Regarding whether to reduce the target age under the juvenile law to under 18, a working team established by the LDP and Komeito parties will keep the current age under 20, and 18 and 19 will be released from the family court. , As a general rule, I summarized the policy to expand the cases of cases to be sent back to the prosecutor last week.
At the joint meeting of the LDP held on the 29th, this policy was reported and generally accepted.
The Komeito also held a similar meeting, and there was no major objection, and the policy was accepted.
The ruling party's work team will meet on the 30th to formally determine the policy based on the discussions between the parties on the 29th.
