In recent years, the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency has attracted the attention of all walks of life. In the newly revised draft of the Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency, it is planned to implement graded prevention, refine education and corrective measures, clearly divide the abnormal behavior of minors into three levels: bad behavior, serious bad behavior and criminal behavior, and stipulate corresponding intervention and corrective measures respectively. Strengthen the prevention, education and correction of juvenile delinquency to prevent serious violence. Faced with these young vicious crimes, many netizens called for lowering the age of criminal responsibility. Preventing and controlling juvenile delinquency is a complex systematic project, and it is also an indispensable long-term work for parents, schools and society. Just by lowering the age of criminal responsibility to expand the scope of crime, it is tantamount to putting the education and guidance role undertaken by society on the shoulders of minors. The empirical study of crime also proves that it is difficult to achieve the expected results. ?

In China, there are a large number of left-behind and floating minors, and the problem of lack or improper family custody is more prominent, which is also an important factor leading to juvenile delinquency. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to solve the problem of education and correction of these minors through special education in special schools, and to carry out effective educational probation and timely rescue. Only by amending the law and defining the fair, reasonable and operable admission procedures can we maximize the intervention of special education in juvenile delinquency. First of all, special education is compulsory to some extent, which involves the restriction of personal freedom. Sending to a special school should be decided by an organ with corresponding law enforcement or judicial power, and should not be examined and approved by the education administrative department. This is the basic principle of the rule of law.

Is special education useful? Of course it works. In terms of preventing minors from recidivism, the revised draft takes into account the relationship with prison law, criminal procedure law and other relevant provisions, enriches measures such as education in litigation, correction after procedural diversion, community correction after expiration and resettlement education after release from prison, and further clarifies the respective preventive responsibilities of minors and their families, schools, governments, judicial organs and communities. ?
