Require under 18s be sentenced as adults for all serious offences

Petition Details

Under 18s are treated differently to adults by the courts, and are given different sentences to adults. We want the Government to require under 18s to be sentenced in the same way as adults for all serious offences, such as murder and sexual assault.

Additional Information

In order to protect our communities we need to have serious deterrents for people of all ages not to commit these horrendous offences, like those committed against my poor Rikki Neave.
