Petition Action

Enact measures to combat knife crime

Petition Details

Establish a violence reduction unit like the Scottish Government did to minimise knife crime.

Additional Information

Introduce a mandatory 5 year sentence for carrying knives.

Increase stop & search powers.

Because we believe knife crime is totally out of control. The VRU is what Scotland has done to combat that.
