1 in 4 participants in the ‘Vote of Flanders’ poll had already dealt with a minor perpetrator, a large majority want heavier sentences

15-year-old Zakaria being set on fire in Anderlecht is just one of the shocking news stories circulating lately about young people committing serious criminal acts.
