Mandate national service for carrying a knife, with an annual knife amnesty

Petition Details

We want anyone who is found guilty of illegal possession of a knife to be sentenced to national service. We also want an annual knife amnesty on 26 April, where people can give up illegal knives.

Additional Information

Too many people, including young adults, are committing knife crime offences, including murder, having previously been charged with other knife crime offences.

We believe national service could help ensure offenders are rehabilitated, and tackle high rates of knife crime.
