Closed petition: Reintroduce the death penalty for murder

Closed on

We believe the death penalty for murder should be reintroduced based on key principles of justice and public protection.

We think it could deliver ultimate justice, prevent future murders and be a stronger deterrent. We also think it could serve to align the justice system with a perceived need for ultimate justice.
