Should We Bring Back Capital Punishment?
38 Answers
Like most people I was disgusted and appalled by the wicked killing of an innocent child by Aaron Campbell. The DNA evidence was quite overwhelming. In a case as wicked as this should capital punishment not be a fitting punishment and deterrent

Capital punishment does not reduce the murder rate as proven by the US model.
"The murder rate in states that do not have the death penalty is consistently lower than in states with the death penalty. The South, which carries out over 80% of the executions in the U. S., has the highest murder rate of the four regions....."

Where it is proved without a shadow of a doubt that the person is guilty then yes bring Capital Punishment back. Get rid of the scum.I don't believe in torture which is what a life in prison is and a swift merciful release should definitely be carried out.
On a practical note it would relieve some of the overcrowding in prisons. We are now seeing murders on an almost daily basis. Something will have to be done soon.

Agree with Andres.
With a prison population of circa K82 and many prisons overcrowded and with cost of keeping prisoner in jail circa £K 30 - 40.
I see little point with lifers where there is forensic evidence and DNA proof, in not using death penalty. I'm sure magistrates and Judges may be influenced with current prison population when sentencing.

The method must be a deterrent factor.
Go asleep with an injection, or have your neck broken with a hanging?
But if life meant life that would be, in my opinion, a deterrent, but the possibility of parole, after a lengthy sentence, and a parliamentary approval, not the idiots who let dangerous criminals back into society.

The average cost of a person going to Dignitas is said to be approx. £10,000. The person wanting to die is given a lethal cocktail of drugs and slips peacefully away. Surely that is cheaper than keeping someone in prison for sometimes 3O+ years. What on earth do they use in the States that costs more than £10,000.
PP--- I did say ' proven guilty without a shadow of doubt' as indeed this teenager was. How on earth do you rehabilitate someone with his mentality.

State sponsored murder has no place in a civilised society.
The deterrent argument is entirely bogus because committing any crime is not the action of a sensible adjusted individual - the sort of person who looks ahead to the consequences of an action before proceeding with it.
Most people seek revenge for horrendous crimes, which is an entirely understandable human reaction, but laws are not made on the basis of emotion, and the law is all the better for that.
