Review young offenders sentencing and consider increased use of custody
We ask the UK Government to review how young offenders aged 10 and above who commit hate crimes, harassment, vandalism or antisocial behaviour and spread racism are currently sentenced. We think they should face more serious legal consequences including increased use of custodial sentences.
Review court system to address trial delays for rape and sexual abuse
We want the Government to review the court system in order to better prioritise and protect victims of rape and sexual abuse by preventing postponements of trial start dates. Victims can be left in limbo for months or years, which can cause further trauma and deny timely justice.
Increase domestic violence maximum sentences and penalties & reform bail laws
We call on Parliament to increase domestic violence maximum sentences and strengthen bail laws by banning bail to high-risk and repeat offenders. Increase penalties for repeat abuse and restraining order breaches to prioritise victim safety. Risk assessments should be required before release.
Stricter Sentences for Serious Offenders and Improved Community Safety
In recent years, there have been reports that serious crimes, including violent assaults and murders, have been increasing across the UK.
Reform bail, sentencing and sex offender registration for child sexual offences
Amend the Bail Act 1976 and PACE 1984 to create a presumption against bail for suspects of child sexual offences. Review sentencing guidelines to significantly increase custodial sentences. Amend the Sexual Offences Act 2003 to require a minimum 25-year sex offender registration period.
