just put them in a room with the family they have done wrong to, with carte blanch to do as they wish, prison protects them, they need to die and this way the family get closure seems quite logical to me.

Yes it is about time we had a real deterrent.I think one of the reasons hanging was stopped in the UK was because of miscarriages of justice but with scientific evidence and advances in technology it is far less likely to happen now.In fact you are more likely to get let of because of a technicality or loophole in the law.I think a prison term should be served so the criminal can reflect on what they have done and the consequences of there crime(this would also serve to give them time to appeal and provide any missing evidence to prevent mistakes being made)maybe a set ten years would be enough and at the end of the sentence they should be hung or given a lethal injection so they are no longer a burden or risk to society.I think there should be a referendum to bring back the death penalty and am sure that it would succeed!

No, If they get the death penalty, or life sentences, depending on the cases, cause then you'll create another problem, would the hanging be for anyone, remembering you have very young kids that have also molested younger children, even though they are kids themselves, sometimes also victims themselves, then you have murderers, all of them or would it make a difference as to why the murder occurred? How the person was murdered? Or anything about the case besides the murder? Before you then turn around and murder he or she, cause now not only did they commit a murder you have too, only you feel your murder is justified by the law right? Not to mention you had a good reason to, right? Look at it any way you want the taken of another persons life is murder, and although if this hit home and I was faced to deal with a person that had caused harm to or killed a person I love, yeah I would be outraged and want them to die to, but I know in my hurt that although I'd be mad as hell, hurt beyond imagination, and forgiving them would be for me a long as hell process, I know that God holds the future so If I had the last earthly say so as to hanging that person I would say no, lock him/she up cause one day he/she will meet their creator and he will deal with what he created, and mind you I didn't say the decision would be an easy one, but I do feel it would be the right one.

It still exists in a few places:
At present, only the states of Washington and New Hampshire still retain hanging as an option.
There are four methods of performing a judicial hanging — the short drop, suspension hanging, the standard drop, and the long drop.
The short drop
The short drop is done by placing the condemned person on the back of a cart, horse, or other vehicle, with the noose around his neck. The vehicle is then moved away leaving the person dangling from the rope. Prior to 1850, it was the main method used. It is still used widely in Middle Eastern countries. A ladder was also commonly used with the condemned being forced to ascend, after which the noose was tied and the ladder pulled away or turned, leaving the victim hanging. A person hanged in this way would be said to have been "turned off".
Suspension hanging
Suspension hanging is similar, except the gallows itself are movable, so that the noose can be raised once the condemned is in place. This method is currently used in Iran, where tank gun barrels or mobile cranes are used to hoist the condemned into the air. Similar methods involve running the rope through a pulley to allow raising of the person.
The standard drop
Sepia-tone photo from a contemporary postcard showing Tom Ketchum's decapitated body. Caption reads "Body of Black Jack after the hanging showing head snapped off."
The standard drop involves a drop of between four and six feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters), and came into use in the late 19th century. It was considered an advance on the short drop because it was intended to be sufficient to break the person's neck, causing immediate paralysis and immobilization (and perhaps immediate unconsciousness-- though this matter is questioned). However, in some cases, the long drop was enough to decapitate the victim, such as the famous case of "Black Jack" Tom Ketchum in New Mexico in 1901.
The long drop
This process, also known as the measured drop, was introduced in 1872 by William Marwood as a scientific advancement to the standard drop. Instead of everyone falling the same standard distance, the persons's weight was used to determine how much slack would be provided in the rope so that the distance dropped would be enough to ensure that the neck was broken.
Prior to 1892, the drop was between four and 10 feet (1.22 to 3.05 meters), depending on the weight of the body, and was calculated to deliver a force of 1,260 lbs (572 kg or 5,604 newtons), which fractured the neck at either the 2nd and 3rd or 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae. However, this force resulted in some decapitations. Between 1892 and 1913, the length of the drop was shortened to avoid doing so. After 1913, other factors were also taken into account and the force delivered was reduced to about 1000 lbs (454 kg or 4,448 newtons).

Capital punishment SHOULD be bought back.....but that's never gonna happen! Murderers,rapists and paedo's should get "proper" life sentences-non of this "out with good behaviour/time spent on remand/tariffs/tags" and so forth-within 10 years--to re offend again, whats the point in that? Build a bloody great sod off "super max" penitentiary, in the wilds of nowhere, staffed by psychopathic jumped up ex-corporal veterans, run along military lines, for a MINIMUM of 75 years...or taken out in a plain wooden box. It is the only way, why won't anyone listen? THIS COULD BE DONE. These "creatures" take the lives of other, ordinary people, turn THEIR family's lives upside down with grief-for the rest of their lives...for what?-10 measly years inside getting PhDs,doctorates, playing playstations/computers, and generally having a real cushty lifestyle...whilst because of the heinous crimes they have committed other people--"the victims"-- have to "chin-up and bear it",for the rest of their lives!! Not good.

Hanging is the right penalty for child molesters and murderers in order to deter the occurrence of similar offenses. It is an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" treatment of culprits.

No in a simple answer they should not. Why finish the suffering of guilty people so quickly or finish the lives of the inocent either. Because inocent people do get hung, i believe the last person in the UK to be hung was then proven inocent...isnt that making us as bad as them!!! And i believe letting the real murderers etc rot in jail a far greater punishment than ending it quickly.....just lets make jail what it should be and not a holiday camp with Sky TV etc.

No!They should be jailed for the rest of their natural lives.There have been too many cases where the police have lied & diregarded evidence favourable to the accused.At least,with a life sentence,there is a chance that the convicted person will eventually get a chance to prove his innocence.A posthumous acquital is not justice.

This used to be a pretty good deterrent...watch a man dangle for a crime, and know without a doubt that if you get caught, you'll dance on a string, too. Cheaper than gas or electricity, and can be used over and over again. I vote yes!
