Deterrence lowers youth crime
According to statistics from the Ministry of Justice, there was a significant decline in juvenile crimes during the first half of 2026, with the number decreasing by 48% compared to the same period in 2025, from 1,523 to 795 cases. The largest drop was in traffic-related offenses, which fell by 63%, followed by a 32% reduction in cases involving child abuse. This decline resulted from the implementation of a series of laws and measures, such as the new traffic law, stricter penalties for serious crimes, and government prevention and awareness campaigns, all aimed at enhancing deterrence and improving the protection of society and children.
