Rejected petition Convicted rioters should not lose benefits

More details

Whilst the desire to see justice done and those responsible for causing such unforgiveable mayhem and destruction to be held to account is understandable, removing benefits or evicting those responsible will only deepen the causes of this behaviour.

The more people are marginalised and degraded the less respect they have for themselves or the rest of society.
