Age of criminal responsibility: Should there be an age limit?

It is obvious that children are not of criminal age. Although juvenile criminal law with its own regulations applies to adolescents, in Austria you are of criminal age from the age of 14 and can therefore be convicted of a criminal offense. There is no upper age limit here. Do you think this should be changed?

Older people are not a homogeneous group; some of them may suffer from dementia, but others are still fully sane. Nevertheless, there are people who believe that, among other things, it would be more resource-friendly not to put older people with a short life expectancy in prison.

In concrete terms, the age of criminal responsibility means that a person reaches the age at which the legislator believes that they are capable of understanding the consequences of their actions to such an extent that they can consciously harm others. From this age, they can also be held criminally liable for such actions. 

With this in mind, do you think it would make sense to introduce an age limit above which people can no longer be held criminally liable? If so, where would you set this and why? What problems could arise as a result? Feel free to discuss this with our community in the comments section!
