Abstract

Abstract:Currently, our society is increasingly exposed to public insecurity and the issue of crime has become one of the main problems that cause more social impact, and the most alarming of this situation is that society is being subject to acts of vandalism committed mostly by adolescents, who have been called Minors Offenders. Minor offenders are those who, because of their physical and psychic development, do not have the "self-determination capacity to act. This work explains the legal basis to be able to impute people over 16 and under 18 at the time of committing serious crimes, such as murder, theft and sexual crimes. In short, what is sought with this work is to modify the sanctioning system to juvenile offenders when they have committed serious crimes sanctioned and contemplated in the COIP with imprisonment of more than ten years.
