Eventhough tsiteli doli is an important wheat variety in some areas outside of Georgia (e.g. in France, where it is known as Caucasus rouge), it is critically endangered within Georgia: Like many other local Georgian crop varieties, Akhaltsikhis tsiteli doli was almost abandoned during the Soviet period due to an agricultural policy based on specialization, concentration, and mechanization. Along with the wheat itself, the knowledge and practices associated with its cultivation and use also declined. Today, Akhaltsikhis tsiteli doli is grown on a total of only about 50 hectares throughout Georgia, by 25-30 farmers who grow it primarily for their own consumption, but sometimes also for bakeries. It is difficult to find the grains or flour on the market.

Capable of wrong. A child under the age of 10 is deemed incapable of committing any crime. Above the age of 10 children are doli capax and are treated as adults, although they will usually be tried in special youth courts (with the exception of homicide and certain other grave offences) and subject to special punishments. Formerly, there was a rebuttable presumption that a child between the ages of 10 and 14 was also doli incapax (incapable of wrong). This presumption has now been abolished (Crime and Disorder Act 1998 s 34). See juvenile offender.

Definition: Doli capax means "capable of wrong" in Latin. In Roman law, it refers to someone who is old enough to know right from wrong and can be held responsible for committing a crime or doing something wrong. If a person is under the age of seven, they cannot be punished for a crime. If they are between seven and fourteen, it is uncertain whether they can be punished. If they were capable of knowing that what they did was wrong, they can be punished even if they are not yet an adult.


doli capax (doh-lIkay-paks), adj. is a Latin term used in Roman law. It means "capable of wrong". It refers to a person who is capable of committing a crime or tort, especially someone who is old enough to understand what is right and wrong.


For example, in criminal cases, a child who is 14 years old or older can be punished for a capital offense. However, a child who is under the age of 7 cannot be punished. The period between 7 and 14 is uncertain. Generally, a child is considered innocent during this period. But if the child was doli capax and could understand the difference between good and evil at the time of the offense, they can be convicted and punished, even if they are not yet an adult.


For instance, if a 12-year-old child intentionally sets fire to a building, they may be punished if they understood that what they were doing was wrong. However, if a 5-year-old child accidentally sets fire to a building, they cannot be punished because they are too young to understand the consequences of their actions.


Doli capax is the opposite of doli incapax, which means "incapable of wrong". It refers to a child who is too young to understand the difference between right and wrong and cannot be held responsible for their actions.


Every Australian jurisdiction should lift the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 14 years to improve justice outcomes for vulnerable children and remove the need for the fraught doli incapax presumption, according to the Law Council.


Research-based evidence on brain development supports a higher age as children are not sufficiently able to reflect before acting or comprehend the consequences of a criminal action. Children belong in their communities with their families and guardians, not in detention. Imprisonment should be a last resort when it comes to children, not a first step.


Doli incapax means the law presumes a child under the age of 14 does not possess the necessary knowledge required to have criminal intent. This presumption can be disproved or rebutted by leading evidence to show that a child knew his or her actions were morally wrong. In practice, doli incapax has proven to be extremely difficult to apply in court.


The presumption continues to wreak confusion as to whether the defence or prosecution bears the burden of proving that a child knew their conduct to be wrong. This leads to errors and results in children being held in custody for lengthy periods of time before the presumption can be led or tested in court, and the child acquitted. As recently as last week, the Northern Territory Court of Appeal allowed an appeal in the case of KG v Firth which demonstrated the uncertainty surrounding doli incapax and the risks of its erroneous application.


Raising the age of minimum criminal responsibility is not being soft on crime: it means adopting a just, proportionate approach. The evidence clearly shows those detained as children are often imprisoned as adults. This is not the trajectory we want for vulnerable children or the best way to keep our communities safe. Children must be protected, not criminalised, and prison should never be a rite of passage.

Doli Capax is a Latin term that means, capable of committing a crime or tort. Doli capax refers to the mental capacity of a person that helps him/her from distinguishing right from wrong. It is also known as capax doli.


Generally, children above 10 years old are considered as doli capax and they are treated as adults where they can differentiate between right and wrong. However, they will be tried in special courts like juvenile courts for any crime committed by them.


The term "doli capax" means capable of committing a crime or tort or a person old enough to determine right from wrong. As enunciated by the early English common law, in criminal cases, an infant of the age of 14 years may be capitally punished for any capital offence but under the age of 7 he cannot. The period between 7 and 14 is subject to much uncertainty. For the infant shall, generally speaking, be judged prima facie innocent; yet if s/he was doli capax, and could discern between good and evil at the time of the offence committed, s/he may be convicted and undergo judgment and execution of death, though s/he has not attained to years of puberty or discretion. [Commonwealth v. Ogden O., 448 Mass. 798, 803 (Mass. 2007)]
