Ministers meet the media (IV Part 2): Highlights

Greater flexibility in dealing with juvenile crimes

China will continue to strengthen its juvenile justice system, classify juvenile delinquencies on different levels and form a joint force with society to better protect the underage and prevent juvenile crimes, said Tong Jianming, deputy procurator-general, on Tuesday.

In October, the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued a proposal to the Ministry of Education, suggesting the ministry reinforce the management of school safety and formulate more concrete measures to prevent sexual assault against students.

The ministry has attached great importance to the proposal and set up a special team, jointly with other administrative departments at all levels, to implement the protection system for child sexual abuse, impose strict management on girls' dormitories, as well as file reports of sexual assaults happened on campus, according to Tong.
