Change law so people over 16 get a whole life term if they commit knife crime
We think that action on knife crime has to be taken. We want the government to introduce stronger sentencing for carrying weapon without a lawful excuse and for offenders over 16 to receive a mandatory whole life term.
We feel the UK has been blighted by murders of children committed by children or young adults. One knife death is one too many.
