Encourage stronger jail time for child sex offenders, instead of community service

Additional Information

Judging by the small media attention of this current affair, and how unpopular it is in the UK public arena, I hereby write this petition to 'encourage more prison time' for sex offenders as opposed to community service.

Currently;
-The Sentencing Council suggested 'high level community orders' for those convicted of trading or possessing child pornography
-The current benchmark jail sentence for those with a small number of images is three months
-Only those with pictures of children posing alone or small quantities of images of children engaged in sex acts, but not with adults are not jailed
(Official news have reported)

& In 2011, of the 261 people found guilty of sexual activity with a child under 13, 134 were jailed and 90 were given community sentences.

Criminologist Dr David Green said it was 'sending the wrong message'.
