Capital punishment, death penalty in the UK
The death penalty should be an option for terrorists, mass murderers, serial rapists, paedophiles and child killers. Anyone serving life sentences should also be considered dependant on crime committed, list of previous offences etc
The prison system is overcrowded and in some cases such as terrorism, prisons can be breeding grounds for radicalisation. There's also the cost of keeping a convicted criminal behind bars for years to consider as well as the victims of crime. We, as a nation should show that we are tough on crime and tough on criminals as a deterrent to other potential criminals. Safety of the public is paramount.
