The Chamber of Deputies of Argentina recently approved a bill that seeksrevolving door“In the criminal system.
This project, about “revolving door“, promoted by the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, obtained 138 affirmative votes, 94 negatives and an abstention. Now, the project will pass to the Senate, where strong resistance is expected, especially by the Christian Block.
The “rotating door” refers to the situation in which criminals, especially repeat offenders, avoid effective convictions and continue to commit crimes due to the lack of more rigorous legal tools.
This phenomenon has been a matter of great concern for citizens and authorities, since it contributes to insecurity and perception of impunity. The bill proposes to harden the penalties for those criminals who reincidate in the crime and for those who commit several crimes without having yet been convicted.
The Cordoba deputy Laura Rodríguez Machado, president of the Criminal Legislation Commission, explained that the recidivism will be applied to any person convicted of private liberty sentences on two or more occasions provided that the first conviction is firm.
The project introduces modifications to the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code, establishing new rules for recidivism and criminal reiterative. As for the recidivism, any person who has been sentenced two or more times to a private sentence, provided that the first sentence is firm.
Crimes
This means that criminals cannot benefit from the “revolving door“And they will be treated with greater severity. Regarding criminal repetition, the judge, in order to evaluate the dictation of preventive detention, must also assess whether there were previous imputations.
This seeks to ensure that criminals who commit multiple crimes are subjected to more severe sentences and that convictions reflect the accumulated gravity of the crimes committed. The project was supported by the Banco de la Libertad Avanza, Pro, the various provincial radical and wild users.
