Rejected petition: Protect victims first: no early release for domestic abuse offenders
Rejected on
Releasing domestic abuse perpetrators early due to prison overcrowding is a policy failure that prioritises capacity over safety. It increases reoffending risk, weakens sentencing integrity, and erodes trust in the justice system. Government must adopt alternatives that protect victims.
This petition opposes the early release of approx. 9,300 domestic abuse perpetrators due to prison overcrowding. It calls on the government to halt these releases and prioritise victim safety. Domestic abuse is a serious, often repeated crime, and early release risks further harm. We demand policies that ensure offenders are held accountable and survivors are properly protected.
