What is Lowering Criminal Age to 9: Key Issues about?

The House committee approved a bill that would lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 9 years old. The bill aims to deter criminals from using minors to commit crimes and to hold children responsible for their actions. However, some oppose lowering the age due to concerns it could turn detention facilities into "finishing schools for young criminals."
