Wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafrecht in verband met het beperken van de mogelijkheden om een taakstraf op te leggen voor ernstige zeden- en geweldsmisdrijven en bij recidive van misdrijven

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This motion proposes amending the Dutch Criminal Code to restrict the use of community service sentences. The aim is to prevent community service from being imposed for severe sexual offenses, violent crimes, and repeat offenses. This change would primarily affect individuals convicted of serious crimes and repeat offenders. It aims to ensure that penalties for such offenses are more proportionate and deterrent.
