flag UK proposes prison for aiding self-harm, targeting online and in-person encouragement.

flag Under the UK's proposed Crime and Policing Bill, assisting or encouraging self-harm could lead to a five-year prison sentence, whether the act is committed in person or online. flag The law aims to criminalize those who intentionally aid self-harm, particularly as rates have risen among young people. flag Existing laws prohibit online encouragement of self-harm, and the new legislation is designed not to target those sharing experiences or discussing self-harm without harmful intent.
