Closed petition Increase sentences for some crimes and make all life sentences whole life orders
Closed on
We want the Government to amend legislation to:
- Increase sentences for knife crime
- Impose a minimum 5-year sentence for causing injury or death using a weapon
- Increase sentences for sexual offences, with mandatory custodial sentences
- Increase all life sentences to whole life orders
We believe there need to be stronger sentences to prevent crimes being committed, and hold perpetrators accountable.
