随着公民身心条件的发展和社会各方面的巨大变化,作为几十年前所规定的法律责任年龄特别是其刑事责任年龄已到了必须作适时适度调整的时候了。而在这种调整中,除了考虑公民身心条件发展和社会变化外,同时需要行政、民事、刑事等全盘考量而非只是片面考虑;还需要起始责任年龄和终了责任年龄一并考虑。要提高起始责任年龄,基本取消终了责任年龄,从而维护法律的尊严和法律面前人人平等的原则。 With the development of the mental and physical conditions of citizens and the enormous changes in all aspects of society, the age of legal liability as stipulated decades ago, especially the age of criminal responsibility, has come to a proper adjustment in due course. In this adjustment, in addition to taking into account the development of citizens’ mental and physical conditions and social changes, they also need administrative, civil, criminal and other considerations rather than just one-sided consideration. They also need to consider the starting age of responsibility and the age of final responsibility. We should raise the age of initial responsibility and basically abolish the age of responsibility so as to safeguard the dignity of the law and the principle of equality before the law.
