Legalize the use of pepper spray
With the ongoing increase in knife attacks and sexual assaults in the UK. The public have no way of protecting themselves in self defense. The use of pepper spray is non lethal but good self defense to give victims a chance of getting to safety and potentially disabling the attacker from continuing
I want the government to look into the use of pepper spray as a non lethal self defense for the public to use if they're in danger.
