JURASZ VE KOENGZ DUMA

Punishment Severity Act of 351 E.S
Introduced in the Duma.

 

An act to increase the severity of punishments of repeat offenders.

 

---

INTRODUCTION
At current, if one was to continually commit a minor offence (e.g petty theft, burglary, etc.) they would, in turn, only be punished according to the legislature in place regarding minor offences. This bill proposes that should a given individual be repeatedly convicted of a crime, that the severity of the punishment levied be increased to the next level of punishment, E.G A continuous offender of a middling offence would have their next conviction be that of a severe offence. A severe offence is the maximum offense that may be levied against an individual.

 

I. Necessary Definitions
This bill, as previously stated, would increase the punishments given to repeat, career criminals, and hopefully deter such a situation in the future. 

 

II. Additions
401.05: Should any given subject be convicted of the same offence on three separate circumstances, the severity of that same offense committed a fourth or subsequent times shall be charged more harshly, to a maximum of a severe offence for what would normally be a minor or middling offense;
