An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Offenses Against The Person. [SB-197]
Currently there is not a crime of strangulation in Delaware's criminal code. Cases of strangulation have been prosecuted using the crime of assault or even the misdemeanor charge of offensive touching. This Act recognizes the severity of the crime of strangulation by making it a stand-alone felony. Strangulation is a leading indicator in domestic violence deaths. Delaware would become the 19th state with a strangulation felony law on the books.
