This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about rape and sexual assault, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Rape and sexual assault are already crimes. Investigating and prosecuting crimes is a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, but we could accept a petition calling on the Government to review how cases of rape and sexual assault are investigated and prosecuted, with a view to identifying how this could be improved.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
