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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you'd like to make the military responsible for crime prevention or whether you'd like something else.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
