Should the death penalty be reinstated?
The death penalty or capital punishment is the punishment by death for a crime. Currently 58 countries worldwide allow the death penalty (including the U.S.) while 97 countries have outlawed it.
no, for the sake of life. Also the truth are sometimes found after the death and there is no going back
No, because nothing gives the right for a human being to decide whether another human being lives or dies
@9LMFYFJ2 days2D
ACTUALLY I BELIVE THAT the criminals should die a quik yet brutttal death cuz they were mean
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 because institutions don’t have the right to murder either
No, I believe in rehabilitation rather than punishment
@9D67HJZOne Nation9mos9MO
For heinous crimes remove human rights and send to forced labour camps for the term of their natural life to repay society.
@9BSXWTFSocialist Alliance12mos12MO
No, the purpose of the justice system should be to prioritise restorative justice over punishment
@934346H2yrs2Y
Yes, for political corruption with clear proof.
Yes for child predators where there is undeniable evidence
@92ZLH5D2yrs2Y
No, it is more expensive than life in prison and innocent people are sentenced
@92YPGN62yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be determined by the prisoner if their sentence exceeds 10 years without parole
@92VQG6G2yrs2Y
@92TWSGD2yrs2Y
Yes but only on extreme cases that are without a doubt the person who committed that crime
@92TSF6K2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for sexual offences.
@92TP7CJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, like sexual crimes against children and human traffickers.
@92SV4SC2yrs2Y
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.
@92LTWLD2yrs2Y
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'
@92JZ2MP2yrs2Y
Yes, only for those diagnosed with a psychotic diagnosis that are beyond rehabilitation and are a total lost cause.
@99WDGDG1yr1Y
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
@935HXPX2yrs2Y
Yes, but only as an option for those serving life sentences
@9353BBF2yrs2Y
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.
@9352ZTN2yrs2Y
Yes, but for only three types of crimes. Murder, active terrorism and treason.
No, but increase prison harshness such as hard labour (idle hands…)
@934JXKV2yrs2Y
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.
@9345PT22yrs2Y
the entire justice system needs to be abolished and reformed completely
No, but force them to work in prison, hard productive labour for life.
Rehabilitation should be the only focus for criminal behaviour.
@8ZLMKPH2yrs2Y
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
@8YWMRGYIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if the inmate agrees to it
Only if the evidence is undeniable
@8YLV9KWOne Nation2yrs2Y
No God says you should not kill
@8ZFQ6X62yrs2Y
No, no one should be able to take another persons life. Murder and the death penalty are basically the same.
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
@8Y6LMHCOne Nation2yrs2Y
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
@8WSB7MN2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for Murder, Treason and Espionage, by Firing Squad
@8WMWGQY3yrs3Y
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
@8MBS64F3yrs3Y
Yes, with full supporting evidence proving it was them.
