9 0 obj The New York City Bar Association supports raising the age of criminal responsibility to 18 years old for all crimes because that change will protect the well-being of our youth, reduce recidivism and improve public safety. Reducing services and supports while putting public health enforcement in the hands of police is a dangerous combination that places young people at risk. Together, we helped pass the Raise the Age law to end the practice of automatically charging all 16- and 17-year-olds as adults. 0000014147 00000 n 7 0 obj 0000012782 00000 n 2Family Court Judge hears the case.
