No, too many people are innocently convicted

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The Labour Party would strongly disagree with this statement, as they believe in the rule of law and the importance of a fair and impartial justice system. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would undermine the principles of justice and could lead to arbitrary and biased decisions.
