Rejected petition TIGHTEN THE COURTS SOFT SENTENCES

More details

We the undersigned wish to get the courts to give the sentence that FITS the CRIME, the JUSTICE DEPT needs to get to grips with this and MAKE the courts deal with crimes with a BASE LINE instead of JUDGES being to soft or to hard, with the RIOTS many of the ones going through the system are only having there hands slapped which is wrong to the VICTIMS, they come out of court stick there middle finger up at the press/media and back on the streets the same night, even the PRIME MINISTER stated TOUGH SENTENCES, maybe our JUDGES would look at things in a different way if they had been VICTIMS, as stated make the courts sentences have a START LINE, it is unfair where someone goes to prison for stealing a packet of crisps and others who cause thousands of pounds damage get of lightly, NO JUSTICE.
