Voorstel van wet van de leden Timmermans en Bikker tot wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafrecht in verband met de invoering van het discriminatoir oogmerk als strafverzwaringsgrond

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This proposal seeks to amend the Dutch Criminal Code by introducing discriminatory intent as a ground for increased penalties. The aim is to strengthen legal protections against hate crimes and discrimination. This change would affect individuals convicted of crimes where discriminatory intent is proven, potentially leading to harsher sentences. It aims to deter hate-motivated offenses and provide greater justice for victims.
