Argentinian President Javier Milei is advocating for a significant change in the country's juvenile justice system by proposing to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 14 years. This initiative has gained traction within the Congress, especially following a series of high-profile crimes committed by minors that have sparked public outrage. The slogan 'adult crime – adult punishment' encapsulates the government's stance, suggesting a stricter approach to dealing with juvenile offenders, which has found substantial support in the Chamber of Deputies, where the law was approved with a vote of 149 to 100.
