Professor Hsu Fu-sheng of Central Police University's Graduate School Police Administration, however, is blunt in his skepticism about these numbers. "A drop in the number or proportion of juvenile offenders is the result of policies adopted in recent years of 'lenient charging' and 'putting protection before punishment.' It does not mean that Taiwan's problem with juvenile offenders is getting better."
然而，「少年犯的人數和比例下降，導因於近年來法律對青少年犯罪改採『寬鬆裁量』和『保護優先』原則，並不表示台灣少年犯罪問題趨緩，」中央警察大學行政警察研究所教授許福生坦率指出。
