Lever l'automaticité de l’excuse de minorité dans les affaires de délinquance grave

Stage committeeUpdated 4mo ago

This legislative proposal aims to remove the automatic application of the 'minority excuse' in cases of serious delinquency. Currently, this legal principle often results in reduced sentences for minors; the proposal seeks to allow judges more discretion to impose stricter penalties based on the gravity of the crime. This change would primarily affect juvenile offenders accused of serious crimes and the judicial system. It would shift the balance of sentencing for minors, potentially increasing the severity of penalties for grave offenses.
