Make our streets safer at night
Now is the time for the Government to make a real commitment to spending more on making our streets safer for everyone after dark.
Overnight on October 30 our streets become more dangerous.
As the clocks go back and our nights get darker earlier, cases of violent crimes, sexual offences and theft against the person on the UK's streets are all predicted to rise.
This November and December alone, over 400,000 violent and sexual offences are forecast on our streets (comparison Apr/May and Oct/Nov 2018-21; Open Source Data).
This is nearly 16,000 more than were recorded in the lighter months of April and May 2022.

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 are concerned about public safety, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
