Call in the military to sort the UK crime wave...

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As we all know. Bike theft, car theft, house burglary, knife crime etc etc it's all risen extremely high... The public support the police. But it's got to the level the police can no longer control it. Because of the government cuts. I feel the military should be drafted in to control it
Until at least at a level where the police can safely take over and keep it under control.

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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about crime, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the military to do.

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