Make it attempted murder if someone goes out with the meaning of spiking glasses

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I was the government to make a law that states it’s attempted murder for someone to enter a nightclub with the meaning of spiking young people with drugs.

I want them to do something about it because there are young people going out in a weekend to enjoy their time off work for disgusting sad people to decide it’s up to them what kind of fun they will be having that night. I also want them to do something about it because it’s getting out of hand in Britain and people think they can get away with it. I want you to do something about it because it’s leaving young people on busy streets early hours off their faces with no control. I want you to do something about it because it’s leaving young people not want to go out anymore and that’s not how we should live our lives- in fear.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about determining what crimes and individual is charged and prosecuted for are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Make drink spiking a specific, notifiable criminal offence: Make drink spiking a specific, notifiable criminal offence

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase minimum and maximum sentences for drink spiking to match those for attempted murder, if that's something you would like to happen.
