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 are concerned about certain crimes, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Police already have powers to tackle theft and knife offences, so we're not sure what you want the Government to do. Decisions about investigating and prosecuting alleged crimes are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.

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:

Make it unlawful to wear full face coverings in public: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634661

Introduce tougher sentences for knife crime: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/633328
