What the petition asks
Get it to be taken seriously by the police and make it a crime
Because there is 99% of the uks women and teens who have been raped and sexually assaulted and the police don’t take it seriously or just laugh about it and it’s not fair on us and it should be taken seriously not joked about
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 understand that you are concerned about rape and sexual assault, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Rape and sexual assault are already crimes. Investigating and prosecuting crimes is a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, but we could accept a petition calling on the Government to review how cases of rape and sexual assault are investigated and prosecuted, with a view to identifying how this could be improved.
