Rejected on
Give out harsher more stiffer sentences , it’s a common thing now , kids /youths carrying knifes ,and there needs to be a strong deterrent
Our children / young people are dying needlessly , and people caught with knifes etc are given conditional discharge , which on its open is Inadequate, the system in which we punish people for their crimes is a joke , it needs amending quickly to stop further needless deaths
