Petition Increase minimum and maximum sentences for rape and other sexual offences

We want legislation governing rape and other sexual offences to be amended to increase the minimum and maximum sentences for these offences.

More details

We believe current sentences for these offences often don't reflect the seriousness of these crimes. This can make people less likely to report these crimes.
