What the petition asks
With so much knife crime and indifference in sentencing laws many are crying out for consistency in the sentences given out in many case that do not match the crime seeing a perpetrator walk free after serving 8 or ten years really rubs the family's face in the ground we need change for the victims
Let's us give the justice back to whom it belongs too the victim and victims family not the perpetrators.
Let's make the sentence something for these killers to think about the crime the damage they have inflicted on so many a fixed minimum sentence of 25yrs minum with no determined release date.
This should include youth murderers let's start protecting our loved ones from these horrific killings and stop wrapping the perpetrators up in cotton wool and start thinking about victims first.
