Tougher sentences on pedophiles, rapists, child abusers, and sex offenders.
Give pedophiles, rapists, child abusers, and sex offenders tougher punishments so it is less likely they will re offend. Make people that have a possibility of offending not want to offend due to the punishment of these crimes.
Too many pedophiles, rapists, sex offenders, and child abusers are offending and reoffending because they know they will not be punished for their crimes. This is having a long lasting impact on the victims of these crimes and their families. There are more than 850,000 registered sex offenders in the UK. This is not acceptable.
