This study examined the impact of criminological data on criminalresponsibility. The criminal responsibility of adults, minors and teenagers,legal persons in the light of criminological data and the role ofcriminological studies and findings are expressed in the evolution ofcriminal law. Criminal law can’t justify the liability of legal personsunder the same standard of legal responsibility for individuals. Recentdevelopments in criminal responsibility were the recognition of criminalliability of legal persons. About the age of criminal responsibility foradolescents, at the end of the age of 18, the criminal liability of theperson is not complete in sanctions, but in the case of the retaliation andlimitation of a girl after the age of 9 years and the boy after 15 years offull lunar criminal liability is complete. This is an inconsistency. It ismore appropriate that the age of criminal maturity in the limitation andretaliation is higher than sanctions. Measurable performance in criminalproceedings requires that, the degree of action against crimes committedby children and adolescents be increased in line with age and theirunderstanding and accountability. With the legalization of criminologicalfindings, the law is updated in accordance with the conditions andrequirements of the community.
