Rejected petition Bring back the death penalty for paedophiles

Offenders who have been tried and convicted of paedophile charges, including sex offenders who downloaded, supplied and viewed indecent child images, should be sentenced to death.

More details

Paedophiles are able to reoffend after being convicted as the sentences are rarely longer than 2 years. Children will always be at risk so long as paedophiles are able to walk the same streets. We need to bring change.
