Overview
This bill creates a new crime called ‘victimization’ specifically targeting senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. It defines this crime as attempting, conspiring, threatening, or committing a crime – listed in the New Jersey Statutes – against a senior citizen or person with a disability. The severity of the ‘victimization’ crime is determined by the underlying offense, potentially increasing the penalty one degree higher than the original crime, with additional parole supervision for certain offenses.
