 - The death penalty  -

The death penalty has recently come back into public discussion in the UK for a few reasons.

First, there have been a number of violent crimes recently, committed by foreign immigrants against white British people. The public is getting angry and demanding that these types of violent crimes should be punishable by the death penalty.

Secondly, the recently formed Restore Party (NOT Nigel Farage's Reform Party) boss Rupert Lowe has said that should his party get into government that he will give the public a referendum on bringing the Death Penalty back into law. When polled, the British public are generally pretty supportive of the death penalty.

Historically, the death penalty has been criticised for killing the wrong person. But we have to take into account the advances of technology and DNA evidence. I think no one would want the death penalty if there is even a shadow of a doubt that the person was innocent. Another reason that it is supported is that it seems to be cheaper than keeping the criminal for life in prison, at the tax payer's expense. Many people feel that that is not justice.

Around the world, about 55 countries still have the death penalty, however, many of them haven't used it in over 10 years.

Should the UK bring back the death penalty? Is the death penalty one reason why Japan is such a safe country? Does it work as a deterrent?
