Closed petition Increase minimum and maximum sentences for sex offences
Closed on
Too many sex offenders are receiving sentences that do not reflect the seriousness of their crimes. Often victims have to deal with the release of their offender after only a short time. Sentences should be increased for all sexual offences to be similar to those for murder.
