We will need to change the concept of children involved in crime

Justice Minister Akın Gürlek stated, "We say 'children drawn into crime,' but we actually need to change this concept from the very beginning. 81% of society perceives that the punishments given to children are insufficient. This is the general opinion of society. I share the same opinion."

Minister Gürlek met with members of the Parliamentary Commission on Children Drawn into Crime at the Ankara Judges' House.

Recalling their meeting with Commission members and AK Party Istanbul MP ​​Müşerref Pervin Tuba Durgut in Istanbul on April 5th, Gürlek explained that this created significant awareness in society and that they also listened to the problems of the victimized families.

Gürlek shared his view, saying, "We say 'children drawn into crime,' but we actually need to change this concept from the very beginning. 81% of society perceives that the punishments given to children are insufficient. This is the general opinion of society. I share the same opinion."

Minister Gürlek stated that the Parliamentary Commission on Children Involved in Crime has also carried out very valuable work and field research, adding, "We want to do whatever is necessary on our part here as well. If legal regulations are needed, we will certainly make these legal regulations together. The report you will prepare is very important and will guide us."
