Criminal judgements: minors and adults - Convicted minors more likely to reoffend as adults
Neuchâtel, 29.05.2017 - (FSO) – A study shows that a quarter of young offenders born in 1992 have been re-convicted on reaching adulthood. Being male, having a history of juvenile delinquency and having committed serious offences as a child and adolescent are factors that increase the risk of being re-convicted as an adult, according to an analysis conducted by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
