Petition Increase sentences for gun, knife and sexual offences

We want the Government to increase minimum and maximum sentences for gun, knife and sexual offences. Many people no longer feel safe in public or at home. There are far too many crimes of these types, and we believe current sentences are not an adequate deterrent. Something needs to be done.
