Sweden wants a lower age of criminal responsibility for serious crimes

The government and the Sweden Democrats want to lower the age of criminal responsibility to 13 for certain serious offences, for example murders and bombings.

That's according to an opinion piece written by the leaders of the parties in question, published in the newspaper Expressen.

A government-appointed inquiry has previously proposed lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 14, but the government wants to take this even further.
