The behavioural and freedom-restricting measure

On 17, Dec 2017 | In Criminal Cases | By: F.P. Slewe

On 1 January 2017, the first part of the Act of 25 November 2015 on long-term supervision, influencing behaviour and restricting freedom entered into force (Bulletin of Acts and Decrees 2015, 460). The second part will enter into force on 1 January 2018. The second part of the Act introduces the so-called behavioural influencing and freedom restricting measure (GVM). The Act makes it possible for sex offenders, violent offenders and former internees to remain under intensive supervision for a longer period of time after their return to society and for their resocialisation to be subject to conditions. This will enable a certain category of offenders with a high level of risk of recidivism to remain under long-term or even lifelong supervision.
