The government raises the maksstraffen to 40 years in prison – NRK

the ministry of Justice and public security has sent the proposals to the changes in the penal code and criminal procedure at the hearing.

I believe that “volume discount” in many criminal cases is uncanny. The penalties in such cases must be better in relation to the number of offences in the sentenced have committed, says the ministry of justice and beredskapsminister Anders Anundsen (Frp).

He emphasizes that even if there is still going to be the courts that have the responsibility to determine the penalty in the individual case, it is a political responsibility to determine which straffenivå to be added to the reason.

40 years in prison

Anundsen points out further that in the case of the adjudication of multiple offences utmåler the court a joint punishment for all the offences in an increased sentence. The penalty will normally be lower than the sum of the each of the offences would qualify for.

the Proposal would give the courts a clear signal that straffenivået must be tightened in cases where the perpetrator has committed several serious offences. It is also proposed to raise the maksimalstraffen in such cases to imprisonment for up to 30 years, ” says Anundsen.

He adds that for the most serious offences, which currently can be punished with prison up to 30 years, suggested an elevation of the maksimalstraffen to prison up to 40 years in cases of multiple offences.

Suggestions for changes are a follow-up of the Sundvolden platform.

Replacement for gruppevoldtekt

at the same time want the government to raise the compensation amount to the people who have been raped or exposed to violence by several gjerningspersoner. In the day it can lead to that the individual perpetrator is responsible for a lower amount than if the person had committed a corresponding infringement alone.

the Ministry proposes that the relief should apply individually for each individual offender, in cases where an offence is committed by several jointly.

– It should not be a good idea to commit aggravated integritetskrenkelser in community with others. Such results are offensive. The proposal will ensure that the courts utmåler a oppreisningsansvar individually for the individual perpetrator, which in any case is not lower than what the individual would have been sentenced if he had acted alone, says Anundsen.
