Description

On June 5, 1990, the electorate adopted Proposition 115, the "Crime Victims Justice Reform Act." (Raven v. Deukmejian (1990) 52 Cal. 3d 336, 340 [276 Cal. Rptr. 326, 801 P.2d 1077].) Among its avowed purposes, as stated in the preamble, was " '... to create a system ... in which violent criminals receive just punishment, ...' " ( at p. 342.) Toward that end, Penal Code*fn1 section 206, defining the crime of torture, and section 206.1, prescribing its punishment, were enacted.
