Kids who Kill in Scotland Criminal Law Series Crieff Strathearn Arts

We invite you to an engaging evening as we launch the latest installment of our Criminal Law Series, titled “Kids who Kill in Scotland.” This in-person event is scheduled for Friday, 22nd August 2025, at 19:00 GMT, and is essential for anyone keen to learn about the sentencing process in Scotland.

During this session, we will tackle a deeply unsettling topic: violent crimes committed by children. Key questions we’ll address include: At what age should a child be deemed criminally accountable? What are the current practices for sentencing young individuals in Scotland, and are these approaches effective?

We’ll dive into the complexities of these issues, highlighting the difficult decisions judges must make. By examining actual cases, we aim to uncover the reasoning behind sentencing outcomes and their wider impact on society. Attendees will gain insight into critical elements of Scotland’s sentencing framework, have the chance to ask questions, and participate in stimulating conversations with others.

Please note, this event is recommended for those aged 16 and above due to discussions involving serious injury, abuse, and harm to children.

Whether you’re simply intrigued by the topic, passionate about true crime, or a student, this event offers both education and engagement. Join us for a compelling and challenging discussion on this sensitive issue, and share your views with fellow attendees as we explore whether justice is truly being served.

Your ticket includes light refreshments, along with tea and coffee. We are thrilled to have Strathearn Arts as our host for this occasion. The venue is located at Strathearn Arts, Comrie Street, Crieff, PH7 4AX.

Please be aware that this is a paid event.
