Rejected petition Have a better police presence in low income areas

I want the government to make police roam the streets at night so that knife crime and robberies are as minimal as possible

More details

As a young person, i believe that it is important for a police presence to be on the streets so it will not only decrease gang knife crime but also allowing people to walk up to them to ask for help/report a crime. It will make criminals scared to try and rob/kill people, at the moment there are multiple stabbings/robberies happening a night, a police presence will reduce this heavily.
