Raise sentencing for more extreme crimes like sexual assault
Make longer sentences for crimes like sexual assault etc and harsher than other crimes like drug use which is up to seven years.
It makes no sense why the punishment for intoxicating yourself is so high and the sentencing for physically and mentally harming another human being is lower.
Drug use has barely any effect on others but the person doing the drug themselves whereas sexual assault can cause multiple mental illnesses and physical injuries to the victim.
Drugs are a choice, being sexually assaulted is NOT.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you'd like tougher sentencing for some crimes, but we're not sure if you'd like that just to be for sexual assault or for other crimes.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
