What the petition asks

Stop taking them to court and letting them out send them to prison and teach them a lesson, make them learn that it's not ok to carry a knife it's not ok to take bike's and get a slap on the wrist!!
Make the law more harder on these teens who are taking bikes and with holding knives. As a community we have had enough and want actions,

Why it was rejected

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about knife crime and bike thefts, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Increase sentences relating to knife crime

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase sentences relating to bike theft, if that's what you want to happen.
