Rejected petition Knife crimes must be dealt with more strictly under the law

Offenders are increasing. Deaths are reported every day from fatal stubs, and the law is not strictly enforced enough to reduce this phenomenon. As most of these crimes are committed by youth, it is necessary to increase fines, and imprisonment, and not respect the young ages of the offenders.

More details

There is only one body that can take this seriously and change it: the House of Parliament. UK Government is responsible for ensuring the safety of its citizens and reducing the number of deaths especially if this comes from Knife Crime.
