       Introduced  by M. of A. RAIA, HAWLEY, KOLB, JOHNS, MALLIOTAKIS -- Multi-

         McLAUGHLIN,  OAKS,  PALMESANO, RA, SALADINO, STEVENSON, THIELE -- read
         once and referred to the Committee on Codes
       AN ACT to amend the  penal  law  and  the  criminal  procedure  law,  in
         relation  to mandatory imprisonment and plea restrictions for offenses
         victimizing the elderly and physically disabled
         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section 1. It is hereby found and declared that elderly and physically
    2  disabled  people  continue  to be singled out as victims of crime. It is
    3  also found that the physical  harm  and  emotional  trauma  suffered  by
    4  elderly  and  physically disabled crime victims has a devastating effect
    5  on the lives of those victims.
    6    The elderly or physically disabled victim  has  a  decreased  physical
    7  capability  to resist an attacker and thus becomes an inviting target of
    8  crime. Moreover, the aftereffects of crime on the elderly and the  phys-
    9  ically  handicapped  affect  them  more deeply than any statistics would
   10  indicate. The emotional trauma  and  possible  serious  physical  damage
   11  resulting from a face to face crime may cause a permanent downgrading in
   12  the  elderly  or  physically  disabled  victim's lifestyle. Such victims
   13  often impose "house-arrest" on themselves,  afraid  to  shop,  to  visit
   14  friends,  to go to the doctor, to live, unless behind locked doors. Even
   15  those elderly or physically disabled who are not direct victims of crime
   16  suffer indirectly, because they, having learned of the terrible  tragedy
   17  suffered  by other elderly and physically disabled and fearful for their
   18  own individual safety, barricade  themselves  within  their  homes.  The
   19  older  or  physically disabled crime victim is thus twice victimized--by
   20  the crime and by its aftermath.
   21    Criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, and the police all recog-
   22  nize and acknowledge these facts, but the law does not.    It  has  been
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD05017-01-3
       A. 4671                             2
    1  ineffective  in  deterring crimes against the elderly and the physically
    2  disabled,  particularly  those  involving  violence  or  the  threat  of
    3  violence.  Similarly,  special projects on crime prevention and improved
    4  techniques  of  communications for the elderly to the police do not halt
    5  or reduce such crime. For these reasons, offenses committed against  the
    6  elderly or the physically disabled must be treated as unique, and legis-
    7  lation  must  be  enacted  to  provide  a meaningful deterrent for those
    8  offenders who now victimize the elderly and the physically disabled.
    9    S 2. Subdivision 18 of section 10.00 of the penal law, as  amended  by
   10  chapter 7 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as follows:

   17  ble for acts constituting the crimes defined in subdivisions one and two
