Increase sentences for young people carrying/using a bladed weapon
There should be harsh minimum sentences for young people who carry or attack with a bladed weapon. If they have committed a crime with full intention then they should be treated as an adult, including being given a harsh sentence in prison.
We don't believe there are sufficient deterrents for young people to not carry or use bladed weapons. They may see these mild sentences and think prison time is fun or a notch to gain. These must be treated with much harsher sentences given that the consequences of their actions can be the loss of a life.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
