Petition Reintroduce National service for 18 mths to 2 yrs for 17 year old male & females
Crime levels and anti social behaviour appear to be on the rise rather than lowering, with the recent increases in knife crime, a sense of accountability and responsibility needs to be understood and learned.
More details
The News now reporting on more & more anti social behaviour & severe crime, I believe ‘National Service’ needs to be reintroduced at some level. Having read social media posts & comments within, many, I believe, would agree our younger generation participating in National Service, within our armed forces, this would also be invaluable to our forces at the same time.
I believe other European Countries that still have National Service do not suffer the same levels of crime.
