Closed petition Replace cash benefits with vouchers, for life for those convicted of public disorder offences.
Closed on
Tangible and sustainable sanctions must be imposed on anti-social behaviour. Benefits should be a stepping stone to reintegration, not a lifestyle. Earning money and paying tax must be seen as lifestyle-enhancing.
We wish the government to introduce vouchers to replace benefits, which can only be redeemed for specified goods types. These will be applied to any current or future claim of an individual with a criminal record or court order for anti-social behaviour or violent public disorder offences.
