Doli incapax, a Latin term meaning "incapable of wrongdoing," refers to a legal presumption that applies to children below a certain age, usually between 7 and 14 years old, depending on the jurisdiction. This presumption assumes that children of this age group lack the capacity to understand the consequences of their actions and, therefore, cannot be held criminally responsible for their behavior in the same way as adults.

In the context of criminal law, doli incapax serves as a protective measure recognizing the immaturity and lack of mental development in young children. It implies that these children are unable to form criminal intent or have the necessary understanding of right and wrong to be held accountable for their actions. Instead, the focus is on rehabilitation, education, and support to help them reintegrate into society positively.
