Petition maximum sentencing for knife related crime

More details

Please help us in pushing the Goverment to allow the police and CPS greater powers to convict persons carrying and using knives.
The no value of life culture is allowing people to walk freely on the streets of the UK with no fear whilst carrying and going prepared to use a knife, its as good as taking a loaded gun onto our streets but the deterrent is not working regarding the carrying and use of knives.(with our current laws).
We propose a maximum sentence for this crime to allow the children and family of us all, to live without the fear we are experiencing daily, please sign and share, we can make a difference, but we need to state we have had enough and this needs to STOP
