Closed petition Increase penalties for shoplifting and abusing retail workers
Closed on
We think that the penalties for people caught shoplifting and abusing retail workers should be increased. This should better protect retail workers, who are key workers in our society.
A crime is a crime, big or small, and we think the government needs to make tougher laws to encourage the police to crackdown on shoplifters.
