Bring Back the Death Penalty for Certain Crimes

Petition Details

In light of the changing nature of British society, the death penalty should be reintroduced for certain crimes, including:

1. Mass murder.
3. Murder of a child.
3. Mass stabbings and machete attacks.
4. Racially-aggravated sex attacks.

Additional Information

Reintroducing the death penalty is desirable for two reasons:

1. Restorative justice. Current sentencing guidelines are too lenient.
2. Deterrent effect.
