The UK law to be changed to include crimes of passion.

Petition Details

I would like the law to be changed in the UK to include crimes of passion similar to the US and a lesser sentence for parents who have acted in the heat of the moment and reacted violently towards people who have abused their children.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure how you would like the law to be changed to recognise crimes of passion. There is currently a "loss of control" defence available to people in certain circumstances. We're not sure what further changes you'd like to see.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
