This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Sentencing is the responsibility of the courts, not the UK Government and Parliament.

If you would like Parliament to change the law, so that there is a higher minimum sentence for crimes of this type, you could start a new petition calling for that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
