a bigger punishment for sex offenders/rapists
100% positive that im not the only one thinking that the "Punishment" for sex offenders or rapists is NOT enough.
they get a suspended sentence and put on the sex offenders list for upto a year in most cases. or in some cases there isnt anything done at all, always being placed back around families
They get a slap on the wrist for punishment, they get protected and put into houses right next door to families or schools, and if no one knows what they have done previously or been accused of then more lives at risk, its more of a crime in Scotland to make untaxed money than it is to be a BEAST and destroy someones life. There needs to be a bigger Punishment, and a list that is updated regular in each area/postcode (names).also being told/ contacted if you know the person (its closer to home)

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about sentences for criminal offences in Scotland is something that the Scottish Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.
The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Scottish Parliament, you can find out more here:
