Voorstel van wet van het lid Markuszower tot wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafrecht in verband met de invoering van minimumstraffen bij bepaalde gewelds- en zedendelicten (Wet hoge minimumstraffen)

This is a private member's bill (initiatiefwetgeving) submitted by Tweede Kamer member Markuszower. It would amend the Dutch Criminal Code to set minimum prison sentences for certain violent and sexual offences. The proposal seeks to limit the courts' discretion in sentencing these crimes. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill. If adopted, the bill would apply to offenders convicted of the specified violent and sexual crimes under Dutch criminal law. Judges would be required to impose at least the minimum sentence set out in the law. Victims and the justice system would also be affected by the change.
