Rebuttable presumptions in criminal law are somewhat controversial in that they do effectively reverse the presumption of innocence in some cases.

A conclusive presumption also known as an irrebuttable presumption is a type of presumption used in several legal systems. England and Wales In English law , a conclusive presumption is a presumption of law that cannot be rebuttal rebutted by evidence law evidence and must be taken to be the case whatever the evidence to the contrary. For example, the doli incapax rule conclusively presumes that a child less than ten years old cannot be held legally responsible for their actions, and so cannot be convicted for committing a criminal offence . The age was seven at common law , and raised by the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 to eight section 50 and by the Children and Young Persons Act 1963 to ten. A similar rebuttable presumption , that a child between the ages of ten and fourteen was not capable of committing a criminal offence, was abolished by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 . Now the age of defense of infancy criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10.
