Tommy's Law

We, the undersigned support the 'Tommy's Law' campaign to tackle knife crime and halt the growing culture of knife carrying in our community. We call upon those involved in the criminal justice system - the Government, the sentencing Guidelines Council, the judiciary & the Police Force- to work for:

Tommy

  1. CLEARER SENTENCING
    Clearer, more robust sentencing guidelines for violent crime and particularly for those who carry out premeditated acts of violence. We also suggest a principle that individuals convicted of violent crime who knowingly carried the weapon to the scene be awarded harsher sentences, to reflect the element of premeditation in carrying that weapon.
  2. MINIMUM SENTENCES FOR KNIFE CRIME
    The introduction of a mandatory minimum sentence for knife associated crime, including the carrying of a knife without good reason.
  3. ACCURATE RECORDING OF KNIFE CRIME
    The addition of knife crime incidents to the annual national recording of crime statistics
  4. KNIFE CRIME TARGETS
    The development of local and national knife crime targets for the police
  5. ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
    We call upon the National & Local government to review the current provisions for activities for young people in the UK. To examine if the activities provided through local & national schemes are appealing to young people and more specifically to the young people most in need?
  6. EDUCATION PROGRAM IN SCHOOLS
    We propose a nationwide education program in schools to bring home the realities of knife crime. The program should be aimed at breaking the illusion that carrying a knife is cool or should earn you respect & bring home in a very real way the risk knives pose & the devastating effect they can have on individuals, families & communities.

105 roxiescrimshawi dont understand why people carry knives.. its not big, they might look hard infront of there mates but one day someone will be seriously hurt by that knive n no one will want to no that person because it will probably be you or someone close to you that ends up getting hurt. And they dont only hert the victim but every one who knows and loves that person as well.!!!
