Rendre incompressibles les peines pour viol prévues par le code pénal et à mieux prévenir la récidive

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) tabled in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature. It would make the sentences for rape under the Penal Code 'incompressible', meaning a convicted person could not have part of the sentence reduced or suspended, for example through early release. It also aims to better prevent repeat offending. The title indicates the bill's two main goals. This summary is based only on the title and metadata, not the full text, which may change as the bill is debated and amended. The bill would mainly affect people convicted of rape in France, who would serve a larger share of their sentence before becoming eligible for release. Victims of sexual violence and the courts and prison system would also be affected by how sentences are applied. The exact scope and penalties would depend on the final text.
