Rejected petition Bring back the death penalty
Rejected on
I want the United Kingdom government to bring back the death penalty for those who commit murdered and serious crimes
The reason why I want the death penalty to be brought back into practice is I believe this is the only way criminals will learn to review their decisions before committing serious crimes
