Bör lagar mot våldsbrott stärkas?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This reform strengthened criminal laws covering violent and serious offences. It increased penalties for unlawful detention and kidnapping, introduced a specific offence for hostage-taking and clarified aggravated robbery and theft. It also criminalised public calls for crimes or violence, preparation of certain serious crimes and some property damage connected with riots. Supporters argued that stronger laws were needed to improve public safety and punish serious violence. Opponents called parts of the reform a “gag law,” warning that broad preventive offences could criminalise protests or trade-union action and give police excessive discretion. Swiss voters approved the reform.
