Rejected petition Death Penalty for Child and Police Murderers

More details

The overall public view, especially in light of recent events, are that the death penalty should be reintroduced for the murders of police officers and child murderers. PC Fiona Bone 32, PC Nicola Hughes 23, Baby P 17months, Sarah Payne 8, Holly Wells 10, Jessica Chapman 10, PC Alison Armitage 29...the list goes on!! The people responsible for these crimes, when proven beyond any reasonable doubt, should NOT be allowed to carry on in society. The public urge the Government to act now and reinstate the death penalty for these crimes.
