This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The UK Government or Parliament can't change a sentence. Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament.
Anyone can ask the Attorney General to review a sentence they think is too low, and only one person needs to ask for a sentence to be reviewed. You can find out how to do that here:

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