Introduce harsher sentences for knife crime!

Petition Details

There is a notable increase in knife crime, and it is a growing concern among many sections of the public. There should be much more harsher sentences introduced and perhaps no parole for more serious cases in order to act as a deterrent.

Additional Information

I urge the government to review their laws around knife attacks/crime. There should be more and harsher laws introduced to act as a deterrent. I also would request that schools should include in their curriculum information about violent crime and the punishments that offenders can and have received in the past so that any potential offenders are well informed.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300054.

You could start a new petition calling for violent crime to be added to the national curriculum, if you would like to pursue this aspect of your petition.
