"Hanging no but electric chair should be used. To many do gooders in the country though so that would never happen. Apparently everyone has rights no matter what they have done. " This is not a loaded question.... but could you throw the switch? | |||

"Is there a country anywhere in the world that has proved that the death sentence is amyway a deterrent to crime?" There is no way of proving it either way. However if there is a chance that it prevents one premeditated murder then it is valid as a deterrent. "Is their a justice system anywhere in the world that has never had a miscarriage of justice?" Two words: forensic science. Miscarriages are becoming more rare. The multiple murders category should ensure less chance of miscarriages. "Can taking someones life be _iewed as a civilised act and have any place in a civilised society?" Are societies who do have the death penalty less civilised than us? That is down to each individual society's ethics/morals and doesn't play a part in this debate in my opinion. Otherwise I will add - abortion and euthanasia to prove a point. "Should vengeance really play a part in justice? So all those saying yes - does non of the above matter?" It is not vengeance it is a predetermined forfeit. | |||

"Should it be brought back ?" I thinks they should be hanged by certain body parts ... Like a man given a 6 month term to be hanged by his balls continuously Or serious criminals to be hanged by their cocks for 2 hours at a time on a daily basis during their prison sentences...then again that might turn some them on ...lol Rapists/ paedos being given a life sentence In prison and being raped non stop by a male horse for 20 hours of the day ! Hanging by death is too quick and over in a flash .....hence why life in prison is good etc....think they should bring back torture instead for very serious offences | |||

"Hanging no but electric chair should be used. To many do gooders in the country though so that would never happen. Apparently everyone has rights no matter what they have done. " Of course everyone has rights, that is why we live in a democracy. Remove one persons rights leads to infringement on others. Nothing to do with do gooders, more to do with the hundreds of years of progress in our laws and penal services. Show me one country where the death sentence has reduced serious crimes. Hang murderers, next hang 'peados', how about gays? They hang them in Iran after all. All the brave idiots screaming bring back hanging, the majority of them appear oblivious to the miscarriages of justice that resulted in innocents being hung. But they don't care about shit like that. No, no, and fuck NO. | |||

"A few years ago A guy built a bungalow without planning permission. When (finally) it was ordered to be demolished, he said he would shoot the planning officer (or whatever). On the day tv crews were there, police etc. He shot the man. Pleaded 'not guilty' in court & trial cost over 3.5million pounds (I understand) No question of guilt. Why is he allowed to walk free after serving a sentence?" those bungalowing lawyers | |||

"A question on ethics for those that don't believe in executing criminals - what about the British troops in Afghanistan? When they shoot and kill a Taliban fighter, aren't they also "executioners" paid by our government to end a life for crimes committed? Or is the difference that they aren't doing it on British soil? The argument could be "self defence", so why have weapons that can kill from many miles away? Is all killing on behalf of "the people" wrong, or is it justifiable if it's a military action?" War crimes different thread But I'm understanding where u coming from | |||

"Yes it should for peados and cold blooded murder y should they get looked after in prison " And what if it was brought back ? How long would it be before an innocent man or woman was put to death ? No justice system is infallible. And how would the pro-death sentence briggade feel after someone has their life taken away only for new evidence proving their innocence crops up afterwards ? Even signed conffessions are not proof of guilt as has been proven on countless occasions. And what of their parents, wife, children ? Somehow I don't think sorry would quite cover it. Look at the recent Corrie scandal. If hanging was in place how many people would have been standing outside the courts with plackards saying hang him ? Yet he was found not guilty. People are too early to judge in some cases, especially where crimes against children are concerned. Not a good recipe when someones life is on the line. | |||

" Thankfully they wouldn't be executed until after a trial, an appeal, an appeal to the European court and several campaigns by human rights groups. It's highly unlikely that corporal punishment will ever come back to the UK so disgussing it is really a moot point. As for other countries, we can't really affect their policies, just be aware of them and not break the law if.we visit them... | |||

"A question on ethics for those that don't believe in executing criminals - what about the British troops in Afghanistan?

The argument could be "self defence", so why have weapons that can kill from many miles away? Is all killing on behalf of "the people" wrong, or is it justifiable if it's a military action? ah but if you kill in the name of your country your not a murderer your a hero I've killed in the name of my country, I don't consider myself either. That's your perspective I don't consider you've killed for your country either. Ask the victims of the London bus bombings. Not that I have to justify my military career to anyone... Lol that trick, did you catch one of them then??" And no you can't justify your military career to anyone. Because you cant You're entitled to your opinion, its something I'd quite happily fight for.

"Is there a country anywhere in the world that has proved that the death sentence is amyway a deterrent to crime? Is their a justice system anywhere in the world that has never had a miscarriage of justice? Can taking someones life be _iewed as a civilised act and have any place in a civilised society? Should vengeance really play a part in justice? So all those saying yes - does non of the above matter? Point taken, respected and understood. I still vote yes though. So you'd quite happily have innocent men and women killed ? Who said anything about innocent people? With all the different appeals courts and human rights groups its highly unlikely that anyone would be sentenced to death if there was even the slightest doubt as to their guilt. How many innocent people throughout history have been found guilty and executed ?" Correct but that was, in this country at least, before the discovery and use of DNA evidence. If there is zero doubt as to someone's guilt then where's the problem? | |||

"Should it be brought back ? I thinks they should be hanged by certain body parts ... Like a man given a 6 month term to be hanged by his balls continuously Or serious criminals to be hanged by their cocks for 2 hours at a time on a daily basis during their prison sentences...then again that might turn some them on ...lol Rapists/ paedos being given a life sentence In prison and being raped non stop by a male horse for 20 hours of the day ! Hanging by death is too quick and over in a flash .....hence why life in prison is good etc....think they should bring back torture instead for very serious offences " Bloody hell butt that's all sounds a bit fucked up to me! | |||

As are some of the alleged pedo's, rapists and hardcore fook ups you refer to. and lets not bull shit ourselves here if the death sentence was bought back, terrorists would be the first on the list to get it, crimes against the country come much further up the list of importance than someone raping Josaphine Bloggs on her way back from the pub " Hope they find the rapist and hang him Poor Josie | |||

"I personally just could not imagine the type of person who could walk into a room and kill in cold bloody someone they do not know as a job I personally find the idea of that scary" Taking a life in those circumstances must take its toll on a person as the victim has zero chance of escaping their fate. I dare say candidates would undergo some pretty stringent selection and their identity would remain secret.. | |||

"I personally just could not imagine the type of person who could walk into a room and kill in cold bloody someone they do not know as a job I personally find the idea of that scary" I look after people who, according to some in this thread, should be hung at the very least, some even suggest tortured. In the 2 weeks I have been doing the job, I have had to read some pretty scary profiles and court reports, yet I have found a way of treating them as a person, not an offense, I dare say a state executioner would find a way of doing that the other way around. I could not kill someone, regardless of the offense they have committed, however, I also believe the death penalty has no place in modern society. | |||

"Oh, the delights of public execution at Tyburn and other assorted sites. You could turn it into a family day out, I'll set up my delicious organic fresh food trailer and sell souvenirs. The public house trade would rocket. I'm sure demand for places would be so high that they would be allocated by ballot; more VAT for the government and all that extra hotel occupancy. I'm actually, in favour, of Capital Punishment, as the advent of DNA, ENPR systems and mobile phones can produce credible evidence of a link with a crime and, I think for cases of murder and paedophilia, it would act as a deterrent. Remember that the military authorities have always used execution as a means of encouraging 'les autres', Romans, WWII and WWII. Convicted rapists could be emasculated; that would reduce secondary offending. Thieves could loose a hand on the first offence, and the other on a second conviction. Taking and driving or driving without insurance could lead to loss of a foot; a second offence takes the other foot. Difficult to drive with stumps. In reply to one of the other comments; lethal injection is not always a humane method of execution, there are much more efficient and humane ways but, if we're going down the route of Capital Punishment, do we want a 'humane' method or, to achieve deterrence, should we opt for the most excruciating and prolonged means possible e.g. such as hanging, drawing and quartering with your pitched and preserved body parts distributed around the country for public _iewing and deterrence, or lingchi (death of a thousand cuts) which, if carried out under the Orders of The Emperor, could entail 3000 cuts and prolong the process for 3 days; turning you from a human being to a pile of slurry, a few bones and a skull?

"What the answer to reduce crime is another matter but in case of sex offenders chemical castration should be used but again lets assume for one minute someone has it done but yrs later found to be innocent what about the individual." Chemical castration is used in Broadmoor. | |||

"In certain cases and where there can be no doubt of guilt, I would willingly administer the injection or pull the trigger myself. Keeping people incarcerated for a lifetime costs a fortune." In the USA it costs around $2.5 million to incarcerate a 20yr old male for life. It costs around $5 million to execute him - the cost argument is a complete fallacy. | |||

In reply to one of the other comments; lethal injection is not always a humane method of execution, there are much more efficient and humane ways but, if we're going down the route of Capital Punishment, do we want a 'humane' method or, to achieve deterrence, should we opt for the most excruciating and prolonged means possible e.g. such as hanging, drawing and quartering with your pitched and preserved body parts distributed around the country for public _iewing and deterrence, or lingchi (death of a thousand cuts) which, if carried out under the Orders of The Emperor, could entail 3000 cuts and prolong the process for 3 days; turning you from a human being to a pile of slurry, a few bones and a skull? Fantastic day out! The kids struggle and can't sleep without crying after watching ghost busters but public execution sounds great! As long as it's cheaper than Alton Towers I'm a happy bunny" U let ur kids watch ghostbusters Hang her (Joke) | |||

"Look at the amount in orisons all over world that have death penalty it has not reduced crime to any substantial degree. What worries me os what if i or anyone else was actually accused and found guilty of a crime that was not comitted and you were yo be hung. My mind goes back to a polish chap although nationality maybe wrong who spent 18yrs in jail and it turned out he was innocent no amount of money can compensate for this and sadly he died not long after release. He could have been hung so on this basis i do not believe in hanging one as deterrent and two because possible miscarriage of justice. What the answer to reduce crime is another matter but in case of sex offenders chemical castration should be used but again lets assume for one minute someone has it done but yrs later found to be innocent what about the individual." *I always listen with apathy towards the whole chemical castration and I think its nonsense, as it really does imply a physiological imbalance does it not? As humans and a few other species, our drive for sex can be more complicated than that of animals, our desires are more complex on the whole and our satisfaction can come from many things, good or bad. Surely looking around this site alone, we see some likes and dislikes that go against the biological _iew.I mean...if sniffing knickers gets some people into sexual excitement, its more about brain functioning than anything else. Is the castration a message to them to say their sperm shall not be allowed to procreate (is this punishment?) or a fear that their behavior will carry on in their genes??????? | |||

"Oh, the delights of public execution at Tyburn and other assorted sites. You could turn it into a family day out, I'll set up my delicious organic fresh food trailer and sell souvenirs. The public house trade would rocket. I'm sure demand for places would be so high that they would be allocated by ballot; more VAT for the government and all that extra hotel occupancy. I'm actually, in favour, of Capital Punishment, as the advent of DNA, ENPR systems and mobile phones can produce credible evidence of a link with a crime and, I think for cases of murder and paedophilia, it would act as a deterrent. Remember that the military authorities have always used execution as a means of encouraging 'les autres', Romans, WWII and WWII. Convicted rapists could be emasculated; that would reduce secondary offending. Thieves could loose a hand on the first offence, and the other on a second conviction. Taking and driving or driving without insurance could lead to loss of a foot; a second offence takes the other foot. Difficult to drive with stumps.

Although I completely agree with you on the apathy part, I don't think the message is you can't procreate as peadophiles can also target boys so wouldn't be expecting to procreate. | |||

"In certain cases and where there can be no doubt of guilt, I would willingly administer the injection or pull the trigger myself. Keeping people incarcerated for a lifetime costs a fortune. In the USA it costs around $2.5 million to incarcerate a 20yr old male for life. It costs around $5 million to execute him - the cost argument is a complete fallacy." If it costs $5mill to execute someone, they are doing it wrong. | |||

"A question on ethics for those that don't believe in executing criminals - what about the British troops in Afghanistan? When they shoot and kill a Taliban fighter, aren't they also "executioners" paid by our government to end a life for crimes committed? Or is the difference that they aren't doing it on British soil? The argument could be "self defence", so why have weapons that can kill from many miles away? Is all killing on behalf of "the people" wrong, or is it justifiable if it's a military action? ah but if you kill in the name of your country your not a murderer your a hero A state executioner would be do the job at the request of the government, just as the military do." Simply unbelievable, and who would be the first to scream for help from these so call murderers if their children were held hostage in a shopping centre? Or would your morals stop you from asking for their help? After all no wars been declared. You have no idea what these people go through on the ground. Sickening that you compare British military with criminals in this way. | |||

"I don't see the need for the death penalty / cruel punishments. As mentioned above these are all costly and do not undo the wrong done. Why not commit them to indentured labour? Make them work in return for their food / clothing, so that they repay their debt to society. Extend the sentence / type of work to fit the crime. Could do wonders for the economy."
