Children under 14 are incapable of evil and should be protected from criminal responsibility, NSW review finds
PositiveWorld Affairs

This finding is significant as it challenges long-standing legal assumptions and emphasizes the need for a protective approach towards young individuals, recognizing their developmental stage and potential for rehabilitation rather than punishment.
