Do you support the death penalty?

Only in very rare cases, when there is undeniable proof from a years-long investigation. Too many innocent people suffered from the death penalty.

no, for the sake of life. Also the truth are sometimes found after the death and there is no going back

Yes, but with very strict regulations. Should only be for repeat offenders of horrific crimes, and without doubt have committed the crime and show no remorse.

For heinous crimes remove human rights and send to forced labour camps for the term of their natural life to repay society.

No, no one should be able to take another persons life. Murder and the death penalty are basically the same.

No because institutions don’t have the right to murder either

No, the government should not kill its own citizens

No, I believe in rehabilitation rather than punishment

No one should have the right to decide who dies; it makes them almost as bad as the criminal

Yes, but for only three types of crimes. Murder, active terrorism and treason.

No, but increase prison harshness such as hard labour (idle hands…)

No but a criminal who has commitment a horrible crime should have to work within the prison to pay their way for the rest of their life. Pay for their food and rent.

the entire justice system needs to be abolished and reformed completely

No, but force them to work in prison, hard productive labour for life.

if somebody has a life sentance with no parole then let them (the prisoner) be able to decide if they want to get the death penalty

For serious crimes such as murder and rape.

Personally no, but allow a Joint Committee into the death penalty

Yes, but as a voluntary option for people who do not want to life in prison.

Yes, in cases such as mass murder, political and urban terrorism and crimes against the government

No, because we should not be able to take life as a punishment for taking life? we cant play god like that

No it's not for man to take a life

No, but those who commit those types of crime should spend the rest of their lives in prison, they should never be let out.

no free melly

No, but if it must happen, instead of killing them, donate their body to science to yield a positive outcome for humanity :)

For rape yes

Yes, with full supporting evidence proving it was them.

Yes, but only for repeatedly violent offenders who have no chance of parole. Saves us the money of housing them needlessly

Yes but only to those who are involved with child sex trafficking's, pedophiles, child molesters and rapists

No...but jail should only provide basic human rights and inmates should be made to work hard...not watch tv and play gym.

Only for peodophiles

Yes but only if there is absolutely no hope for rehabilitation into society and if they are just as criminally active in prison as out of prison

The person should choose life in jail or death penalty

Death penalty should be used against those who are a disgrace to humankind. Like pedophiles, rapists, murderers etc.

Yes if it is child rape or serial killing, providing they don't have a mental health condition

Only for those who are on severe murder sentences with a criminal history prior to conviction

Government should not have the power to execute people

No, but brand pedos so people kill them themselves, it's cheaper that way.

No, the system should be based on rehabilitation, not on punishment.

Yes, but they must serve a minimum of 10 years and any new evidence brought forward must be investigated before the sentence is carried out

No, the purpose of the justice system should be to prioritise restorative justice over punishment

Justice reinvention

Yes, for political corruption with clear proof.

Yes for child predators where there is undeniable evidence

No, it is more expensive than life in prison and innocent people are sentenced

Yes, but it should be determined by the prisoner if their sentence exceeds 10 years without parole

For child molesters

Yes but only on extreme cases that are without a doubt the person who committed that crime

Yes, but only for sexual offences.

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, like sexual crimes against children and human traffickers.

Death penalty for repetitive violent sexual crimes against men, women and children - for serial rapists/killers, child predators and human traffickers who won’t change just because they’ve served time.

No, too many people are incorrectly convicted, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence, and it's wrong to say things like 'Killing people is wrong, you can't do that so now we will kill you because it's bad to kill people'

Yes, only for those diagnosed with a psychotic diagnosis that are beyond rehabilitation and are a total lost cause.

No. I somewhat oppose capital punishment in Australia. Because if someone is wrongly executed the conviction is not reversible once carried out. However I would support a National referendum for on this topic

the death penalty is fit for certain crimes but i do not believe in our govt ability to judge it

No, the death penalty is barbaric, inhumane and does not sufficiently deter future criminals.

Yes, an Eye for an Eye.

Yes but for those who have committed acts such as rape, murder, pedophilia and domestic violence to a certain degree

Yes, but only as an option for those serving life sentences

No; death is permanent; the death penalty does not allow for the wrongfully incarcerated, to later submit the necessary proof of innocence required, to overturn their conviction.

Rehabilitation should be the only focus for criminal behaviour.

Very difficult question, Yes, but there has to be undeniable evidence. The trouble is corruption

Depends on how much threat they can be to society

Rehabilitation prisons with shorter sentences

Yes, but only if the inmate agrees to it

Only if the evidence is undeniable

No God says you should not kill

If the evidence is undeniable and the crime horrific, then I think the family should be able to inflict any, and all forms of punishment they so choose, including long term torture. There should be NO doubt though. None!

Yes, they require public funding to be prisoned for life

No, sentence them to life as a slave instead of giving them the death penalty

Only for the mentally insane and uncurable

Yes. Undeniable evidence and no chance of rehab

Yes, but only for Murder, Treason and Espionage, by Firing Squad
