Rejected petition Change knife crimes to Attempted Murder from Assult with a deadly weapon

Punishments need to match the crime.
Stabing someone with the types of knives seen on Londons streets clearly has the intent to kill & punishments need to be upgraded accordingly

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.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It is already possible to be charged with attempted murder for knife crime. Do you want all knife crime to be classed as attempted murder?

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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