On behalf of the General Synod, the Church of Sweden is expressing concern that increasingly younger children are being engaged in serious crime and reacting to the Swedish Government’s proposals to establish youth prisons and lower the age of criminal responsibility. The opinion emphasises the importance of policies that uphold the Convention on the Rights of the Child and prioritise preventive measures over repressive measures.
