- 223 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 256 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Increase maximum sentence for coercive control to 10 years. We want the law to truly reflect the damage this abuse causes. Coercive control can destroy lives, isolate victims, erode their freedom, and leave lasting emotional scars. Many survivors never fully recover.

Introduce a 10 year minimum sentence for manslaughter
- 64 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 233 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
My brother was killed, and I do not think that the sentence that his killer received was long enough. We think the minimum sentence for all manslaughter cases should be 10 years time served, to provide justice for victims and their families. This should be known as Andrew's law.

- 193 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 231 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

Domestic violence and coercive control can destroy lives, sometimes driving victims to suicide. Yet the law fails to recognise this as a specific criminal offence.
