Petition Action

Convicted Rioters should face Lengthy Prison Sentences

Additional Information

To petition the Government to pass emergency legislation requiring the courts to sentence any persons convicted of criminal acts during the current riots to face a minimum term of 5 years in prison for adults and 3 years in a young offenders institute for minors.

Four and five month prison sentences do not deter these dangerous people or keep them off our streets for long enough.
