What the petition asks
Keep anyone convicted of sexual offences locked up for life if they abuse any child, woman or male. Because they have committed a heinous crime we believe they should be locked up for life because what they do to people affects the victims for life.
Because we believe there are too many sex offenders in our country who despite having previous convictions and sexual harm prevention orders and may be on the sex offenders register, they still continue to commit these crimes.
