No, too many people are innocently convicted

Disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

Some humanists may support the death penalty in cases of horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, but this position is not universally held within the humanist movement. Many humanists would still argue that the death penalty is morally wrong and that alternatives should be pursued.

Disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

While humanism values empathy and compassion, allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment may not align with the principles of justice and fairness that humanists typically support. Humanists generally advocate for a fair and impartial legal system, rather than one based on personal emotions or desires for revenge.
