Closed petition Review youth sentencing and justice
Closed on
The Government should review the law around youth sentencing and justice. We think young people who commit crimes should receive the same punishments as adults.
We think youth crime is getting worse and not enough is being done about it. The general public should expect to feel safe, but we believe young people often get away with committing crimes because of their age, while knowing exactly what they are doing.
