上海为少年犯提供新版国产心理测试,代替美版测试 2015-05-12
A new China-developed system for doing psychological profiles on juvenile offenders began yesterday in Shanghai, replacing a US test, the People’s Prosecutors’ Office announced.
This new test, developed by that office, Beijing Normal University and a drug rehabilitation center in Sichuan Province, was trialed on 406 juvenile offenders in Shanghai during a five-month pilot project that ended last month. The test is designed to determine which youthful offenders should be charged and which should be treated with lenience.
In the trial program, Shanghai prosecutors withdrew charges on 142 minors who committed lesser crimes and who showed in the profiling that they were unlikely to break the law again. That compares with some 77 cases of such leniency in the same period last year.
