Closed petition Increase all harassment sentence limits (sexual and non)

Take harassment charges more seriously and for prison sentences to be made longer so sexual harassment charges. This will most definitely help the current climate and stop people committing these offenses.

More details

Women should be made to feel safe whilst out and we should not have to protect ourselves against predators. Increasing the punishment for these acts will most likely deter people from committing such acts.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
