Rejected petition Increase Prison Sentences for Rapists and Sexual Offenders to the Maximum 15yrs

Statistics show that over 1.4million people each year are sexually abused with only 1400 people per annum being given custodial sentences.
Over the past 5 years alone Hundreds of convicted rapists have re-offended committing further sexual offences upon release from prison.

More details

With the "minimum" prison time only being 5years....your own statistics show out of 1400 convictions hundreds re-offend upon release.

Clearly this stipulates your current system is broken and Does Not benefit the general publics safety.
Budgeting for street lights an cctv is one thing but releasing offenders way too early is the simplest approach to increase sentences to help protect the general public. The public need more reassurance to come forward with confidence that CPS has more power.
