Many attacks are unprovoked which means that they are more influenced by friends/family, not self-defence. Youth clubs will therefore drastically reduce rates however there is a huge lack right now due to funding going to illegal spendings. Adding more by prioritising this especially in Westminster will be a step in the right direction to a safer society.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-06-29T21:21:11.380Z","updated_at":"2026-07-20T13:04:55.237Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-20T13:04:53.961Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-08T13:26:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.\r\n\r\nYou could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue, including by asking them to present a public (paper) petition about this.\r\n\r\nYou can find contact details for your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP\r\n\r\nAnd you can find out how to ask your MP to present a public (paper) petition here: https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/sign-a-petition/paper-petitions/\r\n\r\nYou could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you.
