Using a comparative and historical analysis of the relevant law and practice in England and Germany, this incisive volume examines the issue of whether there is still a need in modern society for an individual assessment of the criminal responsibility of children and young persons. The author offers an in-depth discussion of the criminal responsibility of the young and compares historical developments in England and Germany. In addition to this comparative analysis, the author also provides suggestions for reform.

England: Historical development of the criminal liability of the young; Presumption of Doli Incapax - how it functioned; Abolition of the Doli Incapax presumption - reasons and consequences. Germany: Historical development of the criminal liability of the young; 3 Youth Court Act - how it functions; Excursus - measures which may follow the criminal act; Evaluation of 3 Youth Court Act - criticisms and reform. Comparative Analysis: Historical development; The individual test of criminal responsibility.
