Immediate jail sentence for sex offenders and pedophiles

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to issue all child sex offenders and crimes against children to be given a jail sentence instead of being let free or have community service

I feel that people who commit crimes against children tend to be let off lightly and the. Reoffend if the law changed and they was gave harsher punishment I feel justice would be served
