Rejected petition Stronger prison sentences for sex offenders

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.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure which offences you're concerned about.

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

There are already petitions calling for rougher sentences for rape:

And for child sexual exploitation:

You might like to sign these petitions if they call for something you want to happen. You're more likely to get action on an issue if you sign and share a single petition.

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