Rejected petition I want to change the jail time for men or woman who beat there partners

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The courts decide on sentences in individual cases. However, Parliament could change the law to provide for a minimum sentence for certain crimes. You could start a new petition explaining what you would like the minimum sentence to be.

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