Make Being Remanded in Custody Mandatory for Charges of Rape

Petition Details

I would like Parliament to make it mandatory for anyone charged with rape to be remanded in custody until trial.

Additional Information

To many times we have seen instances of those charged with rape and let out on bail re-offend. There are also reports of some fleeing to another Country to avoid trial, despite supposedly stringent bail conditions.
We want ALL persons charged with rape to be remanded in custody until such times as it is possible to bring their case to Court. We think this would help to safeguard the wider public in general.

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.
