Age; gender; class etc
Age of criminal responsibility is 10 & can be tried in an adult Court
Become an adult in the eyes of the court at 18 (or 17 for bail & remand purposes)
More boys than girls … why?? Need to consider social class in terms of
crime

Doli Incapax
The assumption that a child below the age of 14 could not form the “mens rea” (criminal intent) to commit a crime
The burden was on the prosecution to prove intent
Presumption was reversed in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998

Justice model
You make a choice to offend Antecedents are irrelevant A retributive system, “do the crime … do
the time” “just desserts” Punishment needs to act as a deterrent to
others
![Page 17: Session 1 lllc 2222 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081520/588283eb1a28ab24788b70f9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1717
Welfare & rehabilitation model
Antecedents are all important Crime is a symptom of an illness – in
either an individual or society as a whole Criminal behaviour needs to be
understood and treated

Restorative model
Views an ‘offence’ as an incident, a violation of social bonds
Is inclusive Seeks to repair harm & restore balance
