Protection from Violence
- English1 If a sex offender or violent offender is regarded in the reports required for sentencing as being extremely dangerous and his or her condition assessed as untreatable, he or she must be incarcerated until the end of his or her life due to the high risk of reoffending. Early release and release on temporary licence are not permitted.
2 Only if new scientific findings prove that the offender can be cured and thus no longer represents a danger to the public can new reports be drawn up. If the offender is released on the basis of these new reports, the authorities granting his or her release must accept liability if he reoffends.
3 All reports assessing sex offenders or violent offenders must be drawn up by at least two experienced specialists who are independent of each other. The reports must take account of all the principles that are important for the assessment. (Art. 123a) - French1 Si un délinquant sexuel ou violent est qualifié d’extrêmement dangereux et non amendable dans les expertises nécessaires au jugement, il est interné à vie en raison du risque élevé de récidive. Toute mise en liberté anticipée et tout congé sont exclus.
2 De nouvelles expertises ne sont effectuées que si de nouvelles connaissances scientifiques permettent d’établir que le délinquant peut être amendé et qu’il ne représente dès lors plus de danger pour la collectivité. L’autorité qui prononce la levée de l’internement au vu de ces expertises est responsable en cas de récidive.
3 Toute expertise concernant le délinquant est établie par au moins deux experts indépendants qui prennent en considération tous les éléments pertinents. (Art. 123a) - German1 Wird ein Sexual- oder Gewaltstraftäter in den Gutachten, die für das Gerichtsurteil nötig sind, als extrem gefährlich erachtet und nicht therapierbar eingestuft, ist er wegen des hohen Rückfallrisikos bis an sein Lebensende zu verwahren. Frühzeitige Entlassung und Hafturlaub sind ausgeschlossen.
2 Nur wenn durch neue, wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse erwiesen wird, dass der Täter geheilt werden kann und somit keine Gefahr mehr für die Öffentlichkeit darstellt, können neue Gutachten erstellt werden. Sollte auf Grund dieser neuen Gutachten die Verwahrung aufgehoben werden, so muss die Haftung für einen Rückfall des Täters von der Behörde übernommen werden, die die Verwahrung aufgehoben hat.
3 Alle Gutachten zur Beurteilung der Sexual- und Gewaltstraftäter sind von mindestens zwei voneinander unabhängigen, erfahrenen Fachleuten unter Berücksichtigung aller für die Beurteilung wichtigen Grundlagen zu erstellen. (Art. 123a) - Italian1 Considerato il forte rischio di ricaduta, il criminale sessuomane o violento che nelle perizie necessarie alla formulazione della sentenza è stato definito estremamente pericoloso e classificato come refrattario alla terapia deve essere internato a vita. Liberazioni anticipate e permessi di libera uscita sono esclusi.
2 È possibile redigere nuove perizie solo qualora nuove conoscenze scientifiche permettano di dimostrare che il criminale può essere curato e dunque non rappresenta più alcun pericolo per la collettività. Se sulla base di queste nuove perizie è posta fine all’internamento, la responsabilità per una ricaduta è assunta dall’autorità che ha posto fine all’internamento.
3 Tutte le perizie necessarie al giudizio del criminale sessuomane o violento devono essere redatte da almeno due periti esperti reciprocamente indipendenti e tenendo conto di tutti gli elementi importanti per il giudizio. (Art. 123a)
