Restore the death penalty in the UK
A person who takes another human-beings life does not deserve to kept alive by tax-paying citizens.
Families should not have to worry about a convicted rapist being released from prison (at whatever age) to potentially move-in next door.
Capital punishment has been around for centuries and has contributed to keeping murder rates at a minimum. With an increasing population, and people being influenced by social media and the internet to commit unthinkable acts, we need to create a new deterrent; prison is no longer working.
