Petition Action

Bring back the birch for minor crimes

Additional Information

Short sentences for minor crimes do not serve any purpose but overfill our prisons and deter proper rehabilitation for serious criminals.

Instead we should use the birch for all minor crimes which would now result in under a one year prison tariff
