Rejected petition: Introduce Broken-Glass Policy to policing
Rejected on
I believe that the true reason a lot of criminals go unpunished is due to the responses of the police when a call/report is made. To fix this i believe that the country should have broken glass policy same as in New York where the police respond to all calls no matter how big or small.
Police sometimes don’t respond to “lesser offences” such as vandalism or car thefts as they are seen as petty but it still affects the victim but they don’t get any justice out of it. I believe that if the broken glass policy was introduced we would follow in the city of New York’s footsteps and crime rates would go down and people would be punished for committing crimes instead of being left to go and do it again and again affecting more and more people in the process.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about how the police operate and police policies are a matter for police forces, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
