This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Make the sentence for assault of any Crown servant a minimum 1 year custodial.
More details
There is an inherent lack of respect for law enforcement officials in the UK. This is compounded by the lack of support such officers received when they are victims of assault themselves.
A mandatory minimum custodial sentence of 1 year for the assault of any uniformed law enforcement officer employed in the service of the Government or Crown would send a message out: both to the public and to the officers themselves, increasing public respect, and staff morale.
