For what crimes should the death sentence be introduced in UK?

Answer 1

Child molesters & persistent offenders.

Answer 2

for murder which involves extreme cruelty. I think there are 'degrees' of murder, some people would refer to them as crimes of passion which occur without any prior thought. But there are also murders which involve suffering and torture - I'd certainly have executed Fred West and the Yorkshire Ripper. For those who are against the death penalty, tell me: how does society benefit in keeping Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, alive? We gain nothing, absolutely nothing, and spend lots on keeping him incarcerated. He confessed eventually, all the evidence pointed to him - if he'd be despatched by death sentence then it would have been the happier for everyone all round.
So, yes, the death penalty should be brought back for hideous and brutal crimes.

Answer 3

The ones that it was handed out for when it was last used in the U.K!. As I remember, murder was a very rare occurrence then, but that was before we became enlightened. Even though 83% of the U.K. population want it brought back, no M.P's will support it, I wonder why?

Answer 4

The dying penalty specific, in line with risk in a extra humane way than dazzling, yet dazzling if needed. For the record, I too might pull the lever. With todays progression in detection strategies eg DNA information allied with all different information it may be extremely confusing to sentence an harmless guy/lady. do not ignore that that is trial by technique of jury and can desire to be a majority verdict. If any member of that jury has the slightest doubt then they might desire to record a not in charge vote. What deterrent is there now whilst even a "existence" sentence can propose launch in 10yrs? Why might desire to we taxpayers fund years of detention center for murderers and paedophiles? contained whilst it comes to homicide there could be extenuating circumstances yet those may be addressed by technique of the choose and jury. i'm no bible puncher yet once you have so little regard for the existence of yet another then you fairly could be asked to forfeit your own, your decision. Examples; Hindley/Brady, Peter Sutcliffe, Fred/Rose West, Dennis Neilsson, the "Soham" guy can't keep in mind his call as he's an anathema to me. Paedophiles who sexually abuse youthful babies ( not the guy who has consensual intercourse with somebody he believes/seems of age). All "serial" killers, repeated sexual predators, and people who go "armed" to commit crime the place somebody is finally killed. i don't prefer to pay attention of their '"disadvantaged" background, a lot of people have had one and remained respectable people. Crime, interior nearly all of circumstances is a decision, you pay your money........?

Answer 5

Murder, manslaughter. These people's lives mean nothing. Unless a killing was an accident or in self-defense then it's not justified no matter how enraged or "temporarily insane" they claim to be.

The only problem is that death is a far more lenient punishment than life in prison, I for one would rather be dead and done with my suffering than be locked behind bars with such company for decades.

Murderers should also be killed in the manner in which they killed their victim. Rapists should be raped and castrated.

"The death penalty has no place in society" and paying tens of thousands of dollars so a murderer can eat and watch TV does? The world is already overpopulated, kill off the dumb if we cannot do so to the old and weak, people mess with the laws of nature and now we are witnessing the beginning of it's consequences.

Answer 6

I used to be all for the death penalty for Murder, I then started to believe it should be handed out to anyone found guilty of sexual assault on children...Only in such cases that were proven beyond any doubt... However if anyone has read my blogs on 360,( bluefurball ), then you will know that instead of the death penalty, such people should be injected with major desease or illness and used to find a cure...if the cure is found they will have repaid society and live, if they die.....so be it....

Answer 7

Pre-meditated murder - but only if you are proven clinically sane andn in full control of your faculties. Age should not come into it if it was deliberate either! If an individual has set out to and killed someone deliberatley then they should be made to pay for that crime with their life. None of this 25 to 30 years crap.

Answer 8

For asking silly questions. But what else is there to laugh at. Perhaps for gobbing greenie's on the street. Leaving chewing gum on the streets. For wearing extra long pointy shoes. For being too tall, but I can't say they should have there neck's stretched. Actually I'm against the death penalty.

Answer 9

Since you have posted this under 'Beer, Wines and Spirits' I have to say brewing Carling Black Label or Fosters.

Answer 10

In cases involving Murder & Child Molestation. I'm in the U.S. but that's my opinion.

If you disagree that's your right and I respect that however If your child gets molested or your Mother gets murdered you may change your mind.

With respect to Child Molelstation I might disagree with the death penalty in lieu of casteration and life in prison.
