Should the UK introduce stricter sentencing for violent crime?

The response was almost unanimous - the overwhelming majority said yes, with only a very small minority opposing tougher sentencing.

The result points to a strong public appetite for tougher consequences for violent offenders, reflecting wider concerns around safety, justice, and whether current sentencing acts as enough of a deterrent.

💡 Insight:

Public confidence in safety is closely linked to confidence in justice. When violent crime feels increasingly visible, many people look to stronger sentencing as part of the solution, but prevention, early intervention, and community support remain just as important in reducing harm long term.
