Closed petition Hold a referendum to reinstate capital punishment for child murder
Closed on
There were 68 child murders in the year ending March 2019 and 45 child murders in the year ending March 2020. The people should have the right to decide whether capital punishment should be applied for these heinous crimes.
Many child murderers are now free, walking our streets. Our children should and must be protected. The law has a duty to protect the innocent.
