If this guy is considered a risk, is it ethical for the UK govt. to deport him to Italy where (presumably in the govt's opinion) he is just as likely to commit further murders?
Is it OK for him to be a threat to Italians (or any other group), as long as he's not a threat to Britons?

This is an Italian citizen who has lived in the UK for 18 of his 23 years. Having educated and supported him, does the UK not have some responsibility for him? How can Italy be blamed for the actions of a boy who hasn't lived there since he was 5?

If he is an Italian and not a British citizen, then of course he should be sent back. If a British citizen were to commit a crime over there, wouldn't he be deported back to Britain? Each country has a responsibility to its citizens, and also for its citizens. Let them take care of the guy. Who knows, they might keep a better eye on him.

Getting rid of a threat to society is a good thing. If the perp ends up in another country, he may be dealt with more harshly than in your country.
In the US, we are constantly throwing the criminals back to where they belong. We don't want to spend tax dollars feeding and housing criminals when we don't have to.

In my opinion if someone is no doubt a risk to society I find it hard to believe they would be released yet at all. I am confused with this question
