What the petition asks

The youth have been pushed into a pipeline of crime with no rehabilitation opportunities to initiate change.
This school to prison pipeline has become a way of dealing with young people stuck in a Web of destruction due to family issues, lack of education, poverty, low self esteem and fear.

In the past year over 2000 children have been killed or seriously injured by knife crime in and around the capital, thus has been an alarming cry for help in certain communities that have been highly affected by this current situation, this law to lock away young people that commit these crimes without a chance to change and understand the drive behind what is causing these problems, there are major issues with poverty and cultural discipline in certain areas why we now have to tackle the fatality rate.
