In England and Wales, the age of criminal responsibility is 10.
In Scotland, the age of criminal responsibility is 8, by virtue of Criminal Procedure (S) Act 1995, s 41. However, rather than being prosecuted in court children are far more likely to be assessed by the Children's Panel.

Depends on the type of crime and how the lawyers want to prosecute. Capitol can be of the mini um age of 12. Also what state.

The current age of culpbility here in the UK is 10, although there is pressure on the Government to raise this to 14.

I think if the child is able to carry on a good conversation and you can fully understand them then they can be prosecuted. But I don't think if they're under 16 that they can go to jail

legal age of responsibility is 10, arson charges not usually under the age of 13.
