Rejected petition Bring Back Hanging

More details

Prison does not discourage people from commiting murder, it now seems to be 'just another crime'.

Where it is proven beyond any reasonable doubt, death by hanging should be re-introduced in the UK.

The only way to get law and order back is to make the punishment fit the crime.
