Rejected petition To make incident involving a knife to receive more severe punishments.

To make knife crime punishment more severe to help with the increase in knife before it is more common and people to be more anxious about what the future could see like for the country.

More details

I feel that if something isn't done then it could get out of hand and lead to it being more common and affecting more people lives.
This would put more strain on public services because of it.
