To stop knife and gun crime

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Black on black crime needs to stop I have lived in north London for all of my life and I'm also a parent. I am talking for all the parents who have lost children to knife and gun crime as that being said I want change and to make north London or even London a better place
The evidence is the amount of young people that have lost their life innocently to gun and knife crime this year starting from January and has risen higher in london.
Also if the government has proven facts that London murder rates have been higher than in New York then that tells you we have very serious problems that should be addressed and new strategies need to be put into place
