Victim choice should matter, not only immediate risk or proximity to release.","additional_details":"Victims can lose so much control through crime and the justice process. Some never want to see their offender again; others need to know what they look like. Current decisions can focus on risk management or approaching release. Victims should have greater choice throughout a sentence, including for reassurance and reducing uncertainty. A recent photo could be viewed privately and securely, without providing a copy, with appropriate safeguards.","committee_note":null,"state":"open","signature_count":10,"closing_date":"2027-04-19","created_at":"2026-09-24T17:26:18.103Z","updated_at":"2026-10-19T22:20:50.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-19T09:34:00.569Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-26T20:54:20.000Z","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":"Chloe Jean","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MoJ","name":"Ministry of Justice","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":10}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ealing Central and Acton","ons_code":"E14001207","mp":"Dr Rupa Huq MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Hampshire","ons_code":"E14001214","mp":"Rt Hon Damian Hinds MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Milton Keynes North","ons_code":"E14001370","mp":"Chris Curtis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Spelthorne","ons_code":"E14001505","mp":"Lincoln Jopp MP","signature_count":4}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":2},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":6},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
