Criminal Codes Reform Project

In May 2020, in a new report, it was announced that a committee for criminal reform was to be constituted. 

Considering the wide ranging impact a change in criminal laws would have, and the unrepresentative nature of the committee and the opacity in its functioning, LSC drafted the first student-led petition to oppose this manner of reform. 

More than 600 people signed the petition across universities. 

Apart from just opposing the reform, LSc also engaged substantively with the committee in the first round of consultations. 

Currently, the committee is deliberating the responses received from various stakeholders.
