Bill overview
This bill creates a new crime in New Jersey called ‘victimization,’ specifically targeting senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. It applies when someone commits, attempts, conspires, or threatens to commit a crime against a senior or person with a disability. The severity of the victimization crime is determined by the underlying offense, with potential for harsher penalties, including a maximum sentence of 30 years imprisonment for first-degree victimization. The bill also includes specific affirmative defenses related to the nature of the underlying crime and the presence of other individuals.
