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 the balance of punishment and rehabilitation in the justice system, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding to support the rehabilitation of people within the criminal justice system, if that's what you want to happen.
