Rejected petition Return the death penalty
More details
After the way the UK has suffered countless issues over the past decade where people are getting raped and killed, it is about time these criminals that think it's ok to do these things are shown true punishment.
Some people say it is the easy way out of life, but it is proven that if the penalty of taking anothers life is punishable by death then people will think twice.
Of course there are people out there with mental issues that will ignore this threat of punishment, but it will stop the rise in crime we are experiencing.
It's about time we saw people being punished for their crimes and not getting light sentances for taking anothers life with intent.
