Increase Sentencing for possession of a knife

Petition Details

I am doing a GCSE campaign on knife crime and I wish to strongly express my concern with the increase in knife crime. This is why
I feel the sentencing for holding a knife should be increased as people are not learning and knife crime is still increasing.

Additional Information

I have seen that knife crime has had a major increase over the years and something needs to be done.
