Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Sentences in specific cases are the responsibility of the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to set specific minimum sentences for people convicted of domestic violence offences.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
