Lagmotion med förslag till lag om ändring av 21 kap. i strafflagen

This is a members' bill (lagmotion) submitted in the Finnish Parliament (Eduskunta) by MP Sofia Virta. It proposes amending Chapter 21 of the Finnish Criminal Code, which covers offences against life and health. Based on the subject tags, the proposal appears to concern criminalising violence within close relationships, including the exposure of victims and children to such violence. Only the metadata was reviewed, so the exact wording and scope of the changes are not confirmed here. The proposal would most directly affect people who experience domestic violence, children who witness or live with it, and perpetrators who could fall under the amended provisions. Police, prosecutors, courts and victim support services would also be affected if the changes were adopted.
