End reporting restrictions for convicts aged 18 and under

Petition Details

Any juvenile convicted of murder, knife crime or serious violent assault should be named on conviction and stripped of the protection of anonymity in media reporting. This step may act as a deterrent to others becoming embroiled in gangs and carrying weapons.

Additional Information

There has been an alarming increase in violent crime amongst juveniles. These crimes involve knives and often result in death.
