“This violence against the representatives of the State reaches a record level, a sign of an advanced decivilization“, estimate the elected LR. The bill also wishes that “minors aged 16 and 17 systematically incur the same penal sanctions as adults“.”The criminal majority must therefore be lowered in order to punish these minors with certainty.“, asks the text.

The elect also want “withdraw all family benefits and all rights to social housing from those who are responsible for a child who has been convicted of a crime or misdemeanor“. The allocation of social housing would thus be “limited to the end of the execution of the sentence and family benefits would be suspended during the first twelve months of the sentence. In the event of a repeat offence, family benefits would be suspended throughout the period of the sentence“.
