Gunfire punishment can reach 20 years
The article addresses the phenomenon of firing gunshots without reason in Jordan, which threatens public safety. Authorities continue to tighten penalties for this issue. A temporary imprisonment of up to 20 years has become a specific punishment, especially if it results in someone's death, with penalties not being replaced or substituted with alternative sanctions. The rate of these crimes decreased by 5.66% in 2025 compared to the previous year, although they still constitute 99.64% of serious crimes during that period. Experts emphasize that strict penalties and community awareness help reduce this phenomenon, which has caused hundreds of injuries and murders in recent years. It has turned celebrations into mourning due to stray bullets, endangering lives and leaving long-term psychological effects.
