Police SHOULD Attend Home Burglaries Under Any Circumstance

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Burglary is a serious crime. To anyone who has been burgled will know Exactly how it feels to have your house burgled. Police should spend more time investigating this as its become so common since the new Law has been introduced. Home is your 'Safe-Zone' and having that Violated is Distressing.
Why should we have to pay Pounds to Protect ourselves and our home when those safety measures should be practiced due to the immense tax we pay. The change in law has not only made it easier for Thieves to enter homes but increased Violent Crime as individuals see is as 'Protecting Themselves'. Home Burglary is a Violation to the Vulnerable. Protection is needed for every Home, Protection is needed on the Streets we walk in. Burglaries need to be dealt with. These criminals need to be stopped.
