This petition was rejected

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 want to see the death penalty brought back for certain offences, but it's not clear if you want this to be brought back for all knife crime offences, or just murders - including those that involve the use of a knife.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Restore the death penalty for serious offences: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/631980

Hold a referendum on reinstating the death penalty for certain offences: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/632924
