Eradicate Hate Crimes! Lengthen the sentencing for racist hate crimes today!!

Petition Details

What is hate crime?
A racist hate crime is when someone commits a crime against you because of your , race, religion, or any other perceived difference.Our aims are to lengthen the sentence as there is a minimal sentence and a fine in most cases which is unacceptable for the nature of the crime.

Additional Information

It doesn’t always include physical violence. Someone using offensive language towards you or harassing you because of who you are, or who they think you are, is also a crime. The same goes for someone posting abusive or offensive messages about you online.

we understand that this is a extremely personal matter for many citizens in the UK therefore we believe that lengthening the sentence is key to help deter people from committing these crimes.

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 understand that you'd like the minimum legal sentence for hate crimes to be increased, but we're not sure what specific change you'd like to see.

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