Remove sentence reductions for guilty pleas in controlling and coercive cases - 107,009 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 107,376 - 178 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.

Review discharge of mental health patients - 14,668 Signatures
