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 want certain people to be protected from threats, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

There are already offences relating to threatening behaviour either in person or online.

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

You can read about public order offences including using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour causing fear of or provoking violence here: www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/public-order-offences-incorporating-charging-standard

And you can read about offences relating to online crime here: www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/cyber-online-crime

We can accept petitions calling for changes to existing offences, or new offences, but it would need to be clear what changes or new offences you wanted. As "online predator hunters" are not recognised in law you'd also need to be clear about who you wanted any changes or new offences to apply to.
