Introduce tougher sentences for knife crime

Petition Details

For too long now people are getting away with light sentences when it comes to knife crime, including murder and attempted murder.
I propose that anyone caught in possession of a blade should be handed a 2 year custodial sentence.
For wounding/attempted murder - 10 years
And murder - 25 years

Additional Information

Knife crime appears to be on the up and not just in major cities but in towns and villages as well. It is almost as if youngsters see it as ‘trendy’ now to possess a blade.
Only through harsher sentences will they start to see sense. Suspended sentences and fines/community orders for possession of a blade aren't a big enough deterrent, and neither are the light sentences for wounding and attempted murder with a knife.
If changes aren’t made soon this is only going to get worse.
