Closed Reform the UK Justice System, review sentencing for violent crimes

Closed on

For too long, we believe the justice system in the United Kingdom has failed to provide proper sentences for the most abhorrent crimes. We have seen this all too often recently. This petition is calling on the Government to reform the Justice System, & provide longer, tougher sentences.

This petition calls on the Government to review sentencing for violent crimes, to include: murder, rape and terrorism in particular. This petition would recommend a minimum of 25 years, without the ability to parole.

If we are to upload Law and Order in this country, it is time this was representative within our Justice System.
