The death penalty should only be used for serious crimes such as murder. Because if someone takes another innocent persons life then they themselves aren’t worthy of life, therefore the option is for them to suffer just like their victim. Death penalty also provides retribution and closure for families of the victims and now with modern dna and forensic testing it’s impossible to convict an innocent person. Overall some crimes are so heinous that the only fair punishment is the death penalty.

Because rapists, child murders, paedophiles get it far too easy and 95% who are ever let out, reoffend. Laws I. This country are soft and a joke

 @9H3QZZ5agreed…4mos4MO

If somebody decides to take another person's life, or even try to take another persons life they should receive death in a similar way they would take another life.

The death penalty is a punishment for those who commit the worst crimes. It will protect everyone because they will no longer be living anymore

For specific crimes I believe some criminals deserve to die for what they did but only a limited set of extreme crimes.

 @9GK7D3Magreed…5mos5MO

What if it affected your family directly. Your daughter was raped, your son was stabbed, would you still want to show the perpetrator ‘mercy’ then.
No normal person would. Execute them, society doesn’t need them, they don’t contribute anything morally to our society why would you want your taxes paying to keep them alive???
It would free up prison spaces, no need to build new ones or release prisoners for ‘non violent crimes’ which is a stupid suggestion in itself - a child sex offender can watch images online of children and not commit a violent offence.…  Read more

People who want to cause harm to a lot of people with violent intentions and no regret should be given the death penalty

 @9FQ9C9Sfrom Maryland agreed…6mos6MO

Even if someone gets life in prison, that person is still living while the victim and the families have to suffer permanent trauma for the rest of their lives and it is not fair to them.

 @9FCHX9XLabouragreed…6mos6MO

The UK justice system is suffering and the amount of tax paid for the care and living of prisoners of violent and sexual offences and offences against children is astronomical. Violent sexual offences committed by people in a position of authority are on the rise, as are offences against children. If someone is a repeat offender and has shown that they cannot be rehabilitated - why should we who work hard and live law abiding lives have to fund their care, 3 meals a day and heated accommodation. People in this country who work and abide by the law are struggling to heat their homes and feed…  Read more

Human life is sacred and it doesn't matter what anyone has done, nobody deserves to die, especially at the hands of the justice system.

 @9FBLCCQdisagreed…6mos6MO

1) Non-zero risk of irreversible miscarriages of justice (as has happened in the US)
2) The state should fundamentally not have the power to determine who should live and die
3) Often more expensive to implement the death penalty than a whole-life sentence

 @9F9J42Zdisagreed…6mos6MO

It is inhumane and does not focus on preventative measures of crime and health. It is reactive rather than proactive.

 @9F8S8VSdisagreed…6mos6MO

I do not support the death penalty as the practice itself leads to those who are failed by the justice system facing certain death, all while being unjustly incarcerated. This does not happen in all cases, however there have been far to many dead by the hand of the death penalty who have been innocent of their conviction

 @9H58V2Hagreed…4mos4MO

It completely nullifies the chance of them offending again. I don't have any data on hand but this isn't an issue that should concern data and statistics this is a moral issue.

 @9GZY9H7Conservativeagreed…4mos4MO

59% of all criminals in prison for serious crimes, who have been released from their tenth or more custody sentence will re-offend within the first year of release. Hence why criminals in prison for serious crimes should be executed and not able to see the light of day again.

 @9GYWQZTagreed…4mos4MO

While some cite studies of the administration of the death penalty in the United States as a demonstration of it's ineffectiveness as a deterrent, the fault lies in the rarely applied and long waiting application of capital punishment in the United States. If we take Singapore, who apply it as a standard punishment, we can see its effective use and consequence of limited drug abuse and low crime rates.

 @9GY9WQWagreed…4mos4MO

some people are born evil, and no matter how much of anything you invest into them they will never change
