- Neutral
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
They are trying, once again, to hide from you the truth about yesterday's vote on lowering the age of criminal responsibility here in Brazil.
- Neutral
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
Yesterday, the Chamber of Deputies took the first step toward lowering the age of criminal responsibility.
- Neutral
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
One of the bills lowers the age from 18 to 16.
- Neutral
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
But it wasn't just one proposal that passed.
- Neutral
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
Three proposals were voted on as a package, and almost nobody read one of them.
Not even the news media is paying attention to this.
- Neutral
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
I'm talking about this bill by Representative Júlia Zanatta, which wants to reduce... the age of criminal responsibility to 12 years.
Twelve.
- Against
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
I can't agree with that.
- Against
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
Trying to lump 12-, 14-, and 16-year-olds together is a serious mistake.
And here I'm not talking about ideology, or about left and right.
- Neutral
About: combat organized crime through regional partnerships
I'm talking about public security, about understanding in order to know how to fight organized crime.
First, my position.
And here I'm going to speak plainly.
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
I'm in favor of lowering the age of criminal responsibility to include 16- and 17-year-olds if we meet two conditions.
About: punish violent crimes like robbery-homicide and rape
First... Violent crimes, robbery-homicide, rapes — that kind of thing must be punished.
Yes.
Moreover, this is a position consistent with my fight.
against this absurd increase we're seeing in rapes and gang rapes in our country.
About: incarcerate adolescents in facilities separate from regular prisons
Second, imprisonment must occur in a place separate from ordinary prisons.
Here, folks, again, it's about understanding how it works so we know how to combat it.
- Neutral
About: reform the penitentiary system
Today, prisons are the biggest schools and recruitment grounds of the PCC.
Otherwise, people come out of there formed by the faction, more dangerous than when they went in.
- Against
About: avoid media-driven stances by deputies who prioritize going viral on public security
The problem is that it's full of deputies wanting to grandstand at all costs, wanting to go viral.
They grew up in a bubble, have no idea what the periphery is and no idea how the factions operate on the ground.
That's not the case for me.
I grew up where the PCC terrorizes and recruits increasingly younger youths.
What they've always done is place on the front lines, on the corner, those they know the law can't reach.
Today, that link is the 15- or 16-year-old adolescent.
- Against
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
If we lower the age of criminal responsibility to 12 years, who will the PCC, who will the factions recruit?
- Against
About: reduce the age of criminal responsibility
This proposal from the congresswoman will not solve absolutely anything, but will push crime onto even younger children.
About: prevent children from being treated as adults in the penal system
And yes, when we talk about 12-year-olds, we are talking about children.
We should always stay alert, right?
About: explain the context when publishing vote lists on the age of criminal responsibility
Whoever is out there showing lists of votes without explaining what the vote was, without justifying having been in favor of this absurdity by Júlia Zanatta, is clearly seeking votes, seeking a platform, but not seeking to solve public security?
No, okay?
- Neutral
About: investigate the relationship between politics, police, and militias
Besides, many of those people, when there's a vote to go after the people behind the money and behind the criminal who is advising the PCC in Brasília, those same people are opposed.
