Give all pedophiles and sex offenders harder punishments

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It is important to keep our children safe and stop these people from reoffending.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you’re concerned about the sentences for sexual offences, but we’re not sure what specific action you would like. In particular, we’re not sure if you are talking about all sexual offences or only sexual offences against children.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
