Rejected petition Acid crime must be re-categorised to reflect it's severity on victims.

Acid crime has increased 500% over the last few years and it's punishment is grossly incompatible with the life changing effects it has on victims.

It is an horrific crime than warrants the most severe penalty and must be so serious, it will deter those who would seek to commit such an offence.
