Death penalty is immoral. It's not okay to kill anyone even if they are a bad person. Death penalty is something that should be outlawed. Lots of innocent people end up killed in countries with death penalty.
@9FC8PV52yrs2Y
no, for two reasons which are; too many people are innocently convicted and spending life in prison is a harsher sentence. The death penalty is pretty much an easy way out. But, also i think they should improve their system because people who are mistakenly convicted of something and are sent to prison to later be found not guilty is very inhumane.
@9DQSF442yrs2Y
No, the offender should have to help right some of their wrong. Skin and organ donations.
@9D5HF3M2yrs2Y
Yes, but only those who have taken the lives of others with undeniable evidence.
@9F9RQ8X2yrs2Y
It depends on the criminal and how the fair in prison. If they do well then the death penalty but if they do bad keep them there. The punishment suits the criminal and the crime
@9JRVZFS1yr1Y
No. I believe our justice system has a lot more growing to do concerning its own prejudices and beliefs before deciding the fate of an individual.
@92V2G3M3yrs3Y
Yes, why have those sent to spend life in jail get free food and shelter while the rest of us have to struggle just to keep them?
@95MY8TF3yrs3Y
yes everything requires the death penalty
@928SH733yrs3Y
It depends on the crimes, the circumstances, the motive, and if there are multiple pre-meditated horrific crimes. A serial killer who kills for enjoyment, and has a high kill count is a person I would want to be sentenced to the death penalty.
@95QY3853yrs3Y
The family's victims should definitely have a say and the victims should have the absolute say in the punishment, if they say dead then that's what happens, send them to space if it's bad enough idc
@B4L49SX7 days7D
Yes, with max years spent in prison and second evidence check to make sure they are not innocently convicted. But only on harsh crimes like murder and serial violence
@8VNNSTZ4yrs4Y
No, only because it costs more to execute than care for an inmate for life.
@8V8ZWQG4yrs4Y
no because even tho the person did something wrong they dont deserve do die
@8R9YBHV4yrs4Y
No but sexual assault offenders should not be protected in jail and should be put into the general public of prison
@8NHT9HF4yrs4Y
Not for just any crime, horrific acts of murder in first degree, rape/molestation/child pedophilia and exploitation without ability to reform or high likely to reoffend
@8K222LS4yrs4Y
yes if there is evidence that could not be disputed by anyone
@9CP3NG72yrs2Y
Yes, but the prisoner should have a choice between death penalty and life imprisonment
@99GJGTP2yrs2Y
The more horrific the crime, the more time they should spend in solitary confinement
@997L8JJNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, but at the discretion of the convicted or their Family, with the alternative being life in prison.
@8ZG7HYG3yrs3Y
It depends on the crime, severity of the crime and who did it.
Yes, but I only think for extremely horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, and with much more law and political opinion. The death penalty should be something not taken lightly and only something to surpass a full life sentence with no parole (which is some times the best case scenario, rotting in prison is better than escaping with death in most cases.)
@8SQL99P4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for horrific crimes committed by remorseless human monsters
@8VKZZ8P4yrs4Y
I support the death penalty for war criminals and people guilty of crimes against humanity, as long as we collected all psychological data from them.
@8VJNWNB4yrs4Y
Yes in the case of convictions for murder and rape
@8VJM5724yrs4Y
No, and the prison system should be focused on rehabilitation instead of punishment
@8VDGRKT4yrs4Y
No the death penalty cost to much, hard labour in life in prison for funding back to the tax payers (or use it to fund prisons so tax money doesn't have to go there)
@8V3C3GRConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, for all sex offenders
@8TWGPKH4yrs4Y
Criminals should have the ability to choose whether they wish to serve a life sentence, or suffer the death penalty.
Yes, but only for murder and corruption
@8XKRJ8N3yrs3Y
No, noone should be punished through being murdered by the government.
@8X8GYH53yrs3Y
Prisoners should have the choice.
@8VW3BPW4yrs4Y
yes but not for crimes of passion. it should be reserved for the most costly, and intentional crimes such large scale fraud, organized crime, corruption and coercion of threat of violence.
@8V8ZWD24yrs4Y
depends what they did yas
@959XMKJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for people who have done unthinkable acts and are without the slightest sign of remorse
@92YKHH63yrs3Y
Yes, only for people who were convicted of murder, serial killing, and for killing the Prime Minister, Governor General, or the Commonwealth realm monarch after being broken out of jail for the third time while serving a life sentence with genuine evidence. As a death penalty method, they should breathe in pure nitrogen.
@9FM6JVV2yrs2Y
its depended on the crime
