Petition Increase sentences for young people carrying/using a bladed weapon

There should be harsh minimum sentences for young people who carry or attack with a bladed weapon. If they have committed a crime with full intention then they should be treated as an adult, including being given a harsh sentence in prison.

More details

We don't believe there are sufficient deterrents for young people to not carry or use bladed weapons. They may see these mild sentences and think prison time is fun or a notch to gain. These must be treated with much harsher sentences given that the consequences of their actions can be the loss of a life.
