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?

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.

if a person takes another persons life intentional,they admit to the crime and its proven,yes.why should they be allowed to live,possibly in a good lifestyle in prison,fed.clothed.having leisure time,visits,and maybe to come out in fifteen years,with a new identity,to commit a similar crime again.

Should the death penalty be bought back? Yes and in the most humane way such as the lethal injection.

Just think of the reasons why custodial sentences SHOULD be delivered: protection of the public, punishment of the perpetrator and deterrent to others. Likewise should the death penalty be given but only in cases of extremes. I'm suggesting of the likes for Fred West, Harold Shipman and Peter Sutcliffe, ie perpetrators of multiple murders and extreme pre-meditated murders, NEVER manslaughter.


"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.

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?

"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

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.

Not everyone released from prison after murder is given a new identity.

In this country life means 25 years in prison, then the rest of their natural life on license. In America this is very different, life means natural life. You want that to happen here, talk to the politicians that decide that stuff.

No hanging shouldn't be brought back.

and who decides its ok to torture someone? what gets me with subjects like this is how people think its ok to pick and choose who can and cant commit crimes, hanging is murder, its a crime

Murder and torture is illegal in tis country full stop....ITS ILLEGAL

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?

I'd rather life sentences and they only come out in a wooden box. I'd also build a huge floating prison in the North Sea and send them all there. At least if they were incarcerated in error, they could still be alive rather than game over no second chance. It's happened before with the guy from 10, Rillington Place.

"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.

Good example. One of his tenants paid the ultimate price for murder of his wife and young child. The tenant was proved innocent, but was already long dead.

Then there's the Birmingham six. What if they had been executed ?

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...

life imprisonment for me is a better punishment than taking someones life.

evil begets evil, or something.

take a life and you are no better than them, the only difference is you have revenge on your side.

would rather it be life, proper life, until you die, with earned privileges whilst you are inside, not those that are given like sweeties and only taken away when you are let out.

but then, you SHOULD be given the opportunity for rehabilitation and to reconcile your wrongs, or are there only certain people that should be allowed the 2nd chance?

Good example. One of his tenants paid the ultimate price for murder of his wife and young child. The tenant was proved innocent, but was already long dead.

Then there's the Birmingham six. What if they had been executed ?"

at the trail of the Guilford four the judge actually said after they was found guilty that it was only a pity the death sentence no longer existed in this country, a sentence he would have no problem passing in this case!

'Show me one country where the death sentence has reduced serious crimes. '

Show me one executed murderer who has gone on to murder again!

I only advocate the death penalty in cases of cetain guilt (as in case mentioned previously)

"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.

"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

I've killed in the name of my country, I don't consider myself either."

Apart from people wrongly convicted I'm sure there are families of those murdered who wouldn't want the murderer killed.

Some still hold the key to where their loved ones lay, if it were me I wouldn't want the hope of them some day telling me so I could bury them taken away from me.

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 "

In war the top of the chain should bear the responsibility.

A soldier killing someone they shouldn't can be held accountable, yet the politicians, ministers and PMs who sanction illegal wars which they justify with lies, which kill tens or hundreds of thousands, what real punishment do they face?

If someone was harming my child and I walked in and saw them I would without a doubt do what I had to to protect my child, but as a calm and rational person sat here I cant honestly say I wouldnt be happy to kill someone for a crime unrelated to me because the law said I could, there for I cant condone someone else doing it"

"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 ?

I am in principle for the death penalty, but until there is absolutely no chance of a miscarriage of justice then I can't lobby for it. If the chance of a Stefan Kisko or Barry George is still there and the possibility of an innocent person being put to death then my conscience cannot support it

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..

Has anybody seen the documentary "into the abyss"

About two youths who committed the same murder. One got lethal injection the other life.

The one who got life is married with a child And the child is his

The executioner did over 500 executions he stopped when he had to execute a woman , it messed him up

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?

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.

yes, surely most kind of death sentences must be more financially viable than paying food and accomodation guard wages and all other associated costs of keeping someone in prison for 20+ years

also i think the media should not publicise criminals and give them notoriety

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.

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.

"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.

"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.

"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."

where do you get your figures from ?

The state of California alone has spent $4 billion on prosecuting death penalty cases in recent yes.

Would you have the UK justice system work on an even lower burden of proof than that of the US to save money?

We've gone massively off topic.

And, do you realize quite where we'd be without the sacrifices made by members of our armed and emergency services?

They answer the call to protect you and your freedom without question or complaint and then get treated like that.

Extreme lefties? How has this thread been killed or not being a good healthy debate? Surely to get the debate you said you wanted you need the opposite opinion? So how does opposing opinions kill the thread?

Definitely NO!!

Obviously those who said yes would be quite satisfied that themselves, family members, loved ones or friends will be wrongly convicted & killed, - correct?

Thought not!

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.

Without the Armed Forces this country wouldn't be a country at all. It would be a province of whoever fancied taking us over.
