london - Drugging, the act of secretly administering alcohol or drugs to someone's drink, will become a standalone offense in the United Kingdom.
In England and Wales, drugging is prosecuted under various existing laws. During the July elections, Starmer promised to crack down on drugging if his party, Labour, were to win.
Earlier this week, about thirty people campaigned in Belgium to raise awareness about drugging, or 'spiking'. This was reported by various Belgian media outlets, including VRT. In the Netherlands, drugging is illegal and is classified under assault according to the law.
