Up the sentencing laws
The age of modern day criminals has lowered and country needs to reflect this with new punishments and sentencing to hopefully send a message to prevent further destruction of future generations
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 you're concerned about crime, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what sort of new punishments and sentencing you want to see.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
