Remove sentence reductions for guilty pleas in controlling and coercive cases - 105,729 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 106,060 - 22 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.

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.
