Petition Action

Introduce minimum sentences for attacks on emergency workers.

Petition Details

Emergency services are coming under increasing attack both in terms of number and violence. The current legal system and charges e.g. assault police; is totally inadequate with pathetic fines, suspended sentences etc and is an insult to our police (this example) and only encourages criminals.

Additional Information

All assaults on emergency workers should carry a minimum prison sentence of 6 months increasing according to severity e.g. ramming police vehicles should be 5 years and stabbings 10 years.
