Abstract
The amendment to the Criminal Law (Xi) lowered the lower limit of the age of criminal responsibility for minors by introducing theories such as flexibility theory and reduction theory. However, regarding the issue of special cruel means and bad circumstances, there is no specific provision and explanation in the new age of juvenile criminal responsibility in China, which leads to the expansion of the discretion of the legislature and the judiciary. In order to reduce the juvenile crime rate and punish and prevent juvenile delinquents, we should revise the juvenile delinquents in law to fill up the deficiency of compulsory education in prison, perfect the system of special education correction and establish the system of compulsory parental education. Adopting welfare protection has the function of education and correction for juvenile delinquents who are below the lower limit of the age of criminal responsibility.
