Rejected petition Capital Punishment for Child Murder

More details

We are calling on the UK Government to restore Capital Punishment in the UK for Child Murder.

Several YouGov Polls indicate that over 2/3 of the population supports Capital Punishment for Child Murder.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Note for Petition Administrators: There is no petition which is specific in calling for the death penalty for child murder. The only approved petition for the "bring back corporal punishment" also calls for "or any major criminal that causes horrible acts on others ". This will not be supported by the people supporting Captial Punishment for Child Murder. Thank you.
