Introduce tougher sentences for crimes causing harm to many victims across UK

Background

We call on the UK Government to review sentencing policy and introduce stronger sentencing uplifts where a crime causes harm to multiple victims, even when committed by a single offender or small group, and to work with devolved administrations to promote consistency across the UK.

Additional details

Crimes that harm multiple victims cause long-lasting damage to families, communities, and public safety. Sentencing should reflect the full scale of harm caused, not just the offender’s intent toward one person, to ensure justice, deterrence, and public confidence in the justice system
