Neuchâtel, 06.06.2017 - (FSO) – In 2016 the number of juvenile convictions remained stable overall with 12,090 cases according to the juvenile conviction statistics. An increase in convictions under the Swiss Criminal Code (SCC) (+4%) was compensated for by decreases in road traffic offences (-2%), as well as offences under the Narcotics Act (-1%) and the Foreign Nationals Act (-2%). For adult convictions, numbers stagnated with just under 110,000 convictions. These are the latest findings from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
