Rejected petition Increase Minimum Sentencing Guidelines for Paedophile's and Give a Sentence that Reflects the Severity of the Crime

More details

The Government must increase the minimum sentence guidelines given to Predatory Paedophiles so that the sentence reflects the severity of the crime. Paedophile's are routinely handed out three year sentences before being considered for parole. This is not a deterrent for the most prolific and with good behaviour they could be out earlier. We deserve laws that protect our children and act as a deterrent as at the moment Laws in the UK are far too lenient.
