Rejected petition Reinstate the death penalty for murder in England.

Reinstate the death penalty for murder in England.

More details

The current legal system is not functioning as a deterrent for such serious crimes. Such crimes also place a huge burden on the law abiding majority as long sentences incur massive financial burden on our funds that would be better applied to other areas of such as social or health financing. Once you have decided to function outside the law that we apply to all in society in terms of such heinous crimes you have forfeited the right to be dealt with within that societies norms.
