Rejected petition Tougher Sentences for Knife Crime

More details

Bring in tougher sentences for people carrying knives in public and custodial sentences for using them.

Too many of our younger generation are losing their lives as a result of knife crime. It is far too easy for people to buy, carry and use knives of some description.

We need tough sentences which WILL HAVE TO BE implemented by the courts in order to halt the increase.
