Remove sentence reductions for guilty pleas in controlling and coercive cases - 105,280 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 105,916 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)

I want the Government to introduce legislation so that defendants charged with controlling or coercive behaviour cannot receive a sentencing reduction for a guilty plea entered after initially pleading not guilty. This should be known as Paris’s Law.

The Government responsed to this petition on 11th May 2026 (View Full Response)
Guilty pleas given later in the process can still benefit victims and the administration of justice but are reflected by a substantially lower reduction in sentence.

Automatically remove parental responsibility for parents convicted of abuse - 20,687 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 21,090 - 31 added in the past 24hrs)

We want to change the law to automatically remove parental responsibility from parents convicted of abuse. We feel children being required to see their abusive parents and allowing them to still make decisions regarding the child's life is abuse in itself and may cause more suffering.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd July 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to undertaking a review of the law about parental responsibility in its entirety.

Treat non-fatal strangulation as equivalent offence to attempted murder - 19,014 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 19,261 - 31 added in the past 24hrs)

Amend section 75A of the Serious Crime Act 2015 so that non-fatal strangulation is treated as seriously as attempted murder, reflecting the intent and potential lethality of the act and ensuring perpetrators face appropriate sentencing of up to life in prison.

The Government responsed to this petition on 25th August 2026 (View Full Response)
Non-fatal strangulation is a serious and dangerous offence that can have devastating consequences. Attempted murder, however, is a more serious offence which requires proof of an intention to kill.

Introduce Legislation to make Verbal Abuse toward Police Officers an offence - 2,007 Signatures

They are public servants worthy of protection from abuse. Make it an offence to verbally abuse officers.
