Take a stand to knife crime.
We want the parliament and government to take action to help stop knife crime by implementing stricter laws and penalties, increasing funding for community programs and education, and providing support and resources for at-risk individuals.
I am writing this petition to raise awareness and call for immediate action to address the alarming rise in knife crime that is devastating our communities. This issue has deeply impacted many communities,families and friends of those who have lost their loved ones due to this senseless violence.
Knife crime has become an epidemic, with too many lives being tragically cut short by individuals seeking validation or a false sense of power by carrying a knife.Families are being left shattered.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Create a dedicated Minister for Knife Crime Prevention: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/639631
Mandatory 10-year sentence for possession of a knife: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/636853
Impose minimum sentences for first offence of possession of a knife: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/635897
Minimum sentence of 5 years for carrying a knife with a minimum fine of £10k: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/642085
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for community programs and education, and providing support and resources for at-risk individuals, to help prevent knife crime, but you'd need to provide your full name.
