This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Bring back the Death Penalty.
Rejected on
Once Britain has left the EU we should reinstate the Death Penalty for child murder, premeditated murder, murder by acts of terrorism, child rape and murder of police officers.
With the advent of DNA evidence and further advances in forensic detection we believe the chances of wrongful conviction are not possible in cases of Murder, Rape ect.
