Three Strikes and You're Out

A Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre will end the Liberal wave of violent crime by passing a Three Strikes-and-You’re-Out law to keep dangerous criminals behind bars longer and bring home safe streets.

This law will stop criminals convicted of three serious offences from getting bail, probation, parole or house arrest.

We will make sure that three-time serious criminals get a minimum prison term of 10 years and up to a life sentence.

They will also be designated as Dangerous Offenders, meaning they cannot be released until they prove they are no longer a danger.

The only way for these repeat criminals to obtain their freedom will be through spotless behaviour and clean drug tests during a lengthy minimum prison sentence.

Earned release will be dependent on improving themselves and their life opportunities, such as by learning a trade or upgrading their education.

As a result of the Lost Liberal Decade, violent crime has skyrocketed by 50 percent, while gun crime is up 116 percent.

Gang homicides have soared by 78 percent, and extortion and auto theft are up 357 percent and 46 percent, respectively.

This crime wave was no accident.

The Liberals introduced radical catch-and-release policies like Bill C-5, which allows some of the worst offenders to serve their sentences at home and Bill C-75, which lets rampant criminals go free within hours of their arrest.

Only Conservatives will bring home safe streets for law-abiding Canadians–For a Change.
