Set mandatory minimum sentences for all child-related offences
We call on the Government to introduce mandatory minimum sentences for all sexual and violent offences against children.
We believe children deserve the highest level of protection under the law. Yet, many adults who commit serious crimes against children, including sexual abuse, exploitation, and violent harm, receive sentences which we believe do not reflect the lifelong impact on victims. We want our justice system to send a clear message: crimes against children will be met with the strongest possible consequences.
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.
