As far as I understand our justice system is based on rehabilitation rather than retribution .....

I guess it depends on what type of justice system you want....

The Norwegian model is criticised for being too cushy but has the lowest re-offending rate per capita anywhere in Europe .... Maybe we can learn something from this.

Yes, but only for limited types of cases with overwhelming evidence. If we cannot ascertain guilt then no form of punishment is appropriate. The question of capital punishment has nothing to do with wrongful convictions anymore than the question of life imprisonment does. Both are unjust and take life. You can't give 30 years back to someone wrongfully convicted. If they were talked in prison, you can't reverse that. You can't give them back their reputation, their dreams, their dignity, their youth, their health, and if they die in prison, their life.

Capital punishment is the only appropriate punishment for forced non-consensual sex, premeditated murder and child abuse. Wrongful convictions are another matter that needs addressing but bring back the guillotine.

Yes.

Technology today such as cctv.dna and so on can prove undoubtedly that someone is guilty of a crime.so if there's no doubt and they have done a despicable crime then the death penalty should be used.

Prisons are more like holiday camps now thanks to the pc world idiots and people wonder why the rates reoffending is as high as it is.Theres no real harsh punishments anymore.

I garrentee if punishments for crime was more severe then there would be a lot less crime and I also garrentee if there was the death penalty then there would be less murders x

No. But life should mean that & we should have a ‘3 strikes’ rule or something similar, like the USA has.

Jon Venables, one of the boys who killed James Bulger has just been charged for the second time for possessing & distributing child pornography. If convicted, this will be his third serious crime.

IMO, rehabilitation isn’t possible for some people & in his instance, this ‘3rd strike’ should result in him forfeiting his freedom & spending the rest of his life behind bars.

Prisons need to be made tougher and a place where you actually don’t want to be, if you are given life, you do life with no mod cons or anything, so it’s actusllt worse than the death penalty, the death penalty they get a way out in my eyes (and the person having to press the button is in fact in my eyes anyway still ending someone’s life) they might sit in death row for years and years but they still have an ending way before they was meant too. They need to rot in prison.

Reoffending rate are so high because traditionally designed prisons and attitudes do not limit the spread of the corrosive criminal prison subculture that dominates these institutions.

Instead of wing in Norwegian prisons prisoners live in small "pod" communities within the prison which limits the spread of the corrosive criminal prison subculture. Despite the seriousness of their crimes the prisoners cells had televisions, computers, integral showers and sanitation.

Yet Norway has at less than 30%, the lowest reoffending rate per capita in Europe and less than half the rate in the UK.

Additionally it take 3 years to train a prison officer in Norway rather than the 6 weeks it takes in the UK

Go figure.....

What does LIFE imprisonment mean to you? It means you are locked up until you DIE as a punishment! So if you punish someone by locking them up until they DIE, you cannot reverse that, simple. So why aren't you against locking innocent people up until they die?

There's perfect evidence of the lack of the deterrent effect in the USA. Some states have the death penalty, some don't. The states with the death penalty have a higher murder rate than states without.

It deters that criminal forever, effectively. We're talking about punishment not people who haven't committed a crime. Are you saying that if you lived in a village of 3 people and one killed the another, you wouldn't punish them because there's nobody to 'deter'? You're not being consistent. We don't punish to deter, we punish to punish. It's called justice! Prevention is all the education you receive from birth about right and wrong. Now, are you saying that prison works as a deterrent? Why do people still go to prison then? Ok so why do you support prison sentences when clearly is not working as a deterrent? Inconsistent.

I think you're too keen to say something controversial to worry about making any sense personally. Maybe take a bit more time to think about it.

My point was that it isn't just people who are given life sentences that die in prison. There is also fact that many who die in prison do so of natural causes, not at the decision of someone playing God.

The very fact that there are miscarriages of justice and over turned convictions show that there is no way the death penalty can be reinstated.

I don't view killing anyone as a good thing. The only justification for killing anyone is if stops a greater number of people being killed. Thus the only justification for capital punishment would be if it deterred murder more than sentence of imprisonment. As it doesn't there is no justification for it.

Punishing for the sake of it is just revenge. That's not a good thing.

It does not determine others from carrying out crimes where the sentence if caught is death..

It only seeks to pander to the base need within some for blood..

A question for you. Have you ever lost someone to a violent murderer such as The Yorkshire Ripper? I have a friend who worked with the brother of the youngest victim he butchered, Jane McDonald, she was 16 years old. Her brother never got over it, her father eventually passed away with grief. Meanwhile Peter Sutcluffe was alive and healthy in a psychiatric hospital. So very unfair, he should have been executed.

the land of saints & sinners

I would take a lot of social and political courage to change our penal system to one that actually works wit low reoffending rates. However I don't believe that politicians and the general public have the courage for that as it challenges preconceptions and looks to be counterintuitive. As there seems to be a blood lust for revenge and retribution rather than genuine rehabilitation.

If we treat people like animals when they are in prison they are more likely to behave like animals on release. You don't change people by the use of power or force. If you give prisoners respect and this way it can teach them to respect others so that when they are released they are less likely to commit more crimes. That is justice for all society.

This flies counter to the lock em up and throw away the key brigade....

But It actually works

But I don't think our society has the guts to change and so we live with the consequences of our broken privatised penal system which is more about money that rehabilitating and changing prisoners lives for the better of all in society.

Not arguing with your point totally agree it wont change awt sometimes desperate people do desperate things dosnt make it right but if u keep repeating the same mistakes it should increase the level of punnishment.

Even if it was brought back no judge would be brave enough to use the max punnishment option unless left with no other choice

It's an absolute state. Therefore low murder rate. Other than by the state. Absolute states are very law abiding.

I’d be curious to know of those who are in favour of bringing back the death penalty, would you be happy to pull the trigger, deliver the injection, thrust the knife or swing the sword?

I imagine it’s rather easy to say you’re in favour until you’re stood there pointing a gun at someone.

No.

There are some people who cannot be rehabilitated. They pose the greatest risk to society and should be locked away permanently for the safety of others.

However, inversting in effective rehabilitation, education and training would be a far better use of public money rather than just locking people up. Bear in mind that if we tackle the root causes of crime, crime will be less prevalent.

Sexual offences is a seperate case and tougher sentences should be used as a deterrent.

I'm curious to know why some people here are so keen on retribution as in an eye for an eye when it has been proven time and time again that it neither acts as a deterrent or is effective.

Is it primal blood lust...

No that's unintentional. Premeditated murder is no accident. Personally in in favour of giving the family of the victim the authority to choose death or blood money compensation or imprisonment. There need not be an execution for every single murder, but it definitely should not be ruled out.

Eye for an eye.

If a thief loses a hand for stealing, I bet he/she won't steal anymore... Or caught more than twice...

If they have physical proof, admission or vid evidence, then the crime they commit should come back on them 10 times over. If they shoot someone, shoot them back...

Prisons are over crowded, a tax burden, and too soft/cushy. Not to mention they over work the judicial system with all the appeals...

I agree. I think under some circumstances the family should be given the right to choose execution or forgiveness outright. Not only do I support capital punishment, I support the right for the family to forgive the killer and set them free in exceptional circumstances.

Geeky x

As someone who has represented lots of criminals, I can assure you that they hate going to prison.

This is very relevant. Rehabilitation has a very low success rate. Whilst the potential execution of an innocent person is horrific, far more offenders subsequently re-offend on release, including serious sex crimes, paedos and murderers. A state sanctioned execution is not 'another murder', it is a lawful homicide.

I'm a bit mixed about this one... I think it SHOULD be considered for repeat offenders of serious crimes where there is overwhelming evidence.

At the same time, I don't think I could be the one to cause their death.

Because it is underfunded and poorly managed at government level.

There needs to be greater investment in people and buildings and a major change in attitude in how we treat prisoners so that reoffending rates can be reduced

As the really high reoffending rates are a crime against all in society.

I would suggest the throw away the key brigade do some serious study in justice and penal systems that actually are effective rather than just making sweeping statements...

"Yes, but only for limited types of cases with overwhelming evidence. If we cannot ascertain guilt then no form of punishment is appropriate. The question of capital punishment has nothing to do with wrongful convictions anymore than the question of life imprisonment does. Both are unjust and take life. You can't give 30 years back to someone wrongfully convicted. If they were talked in prison, you can't reverse that. You can't give them back their reputation, their dreams, their dignity, their youth, their health, and if they die in prison, their life.

Throughout this thread you have used words like rehabilitation and keep referencing the 'justice' system but like most bleeding hearters I think that the definition of the word justice has escaped you and most people who are against capital punishment. The fact that many people have called a potential executioner as a murderer is a perfect example of this.

The definition of justice in the dictionary simply says: Justice is fairness in the way that people are treated. So is it fair for any criminal to be given ANYTHING and that includes the right to live if they have deprived another person that ability?

Let alone the then discussion of the potentials of crimes like burglary where a criminal can potentially deprive a working class person of their property, then go into prison and gain qualifications that the taxpayer pays for, comes out of prison and is actively found employment, and then earns far more than the person he or she robbed this is your rehabilitation but I would not view as just!

Now - this may sound controversial but I once took part in a serious debate and I had to convince an audience that upon 3rd COURT CONVICTION for defined criminal offences, the death penalty should be manadatory. It was a fascinating subject to look into as, when you take into account all disposal options not involving court and the average number of times a person commits an offence before being caught etc then upon 3rd conviction they are, without doubt, an absolute serial criminal and of no use to society - so kill them.

I should add, it was not necessarily my personal view but it didn't half raise some interesting issues - and over 60% of the audience voted for it at the end!

I don't doubt you as pretty much the whole public sector is mismanaged. However, it is the individual who chooses to re-offend rather than learn from their mistakes. Some will turn their life around but pitifully few for the effort expended.

It deters the convicted murderer. Isn't that why you lock people up - to get them off the streets and away from people they may harm? Right, well the death penalty does the same.

Clearly prison isn't working either. Those states have prison too. Why isn't prison deterring crime? Why only mention that the death penalty isn't deterring crime?

They have the death penalty because they have high murder rates, simple. All that shows is that the higher the murders, the more likely the state will keep the death penalty. Unless you're claiming that having the death penalty actually causes the murders. Those places aren't violent because of the death penalty; they have the death penalty because it's violent.

"I’d be curious to know of those who are in favour of bringing back the death penalty, would you be happy to pull the trigger, deliver the injection, thrust the knife or swing the sword?

I imagine it’s rather easy to say you’re in favour until you’re stood there pointing a gun at someone. "

Yes, it's not something I'd do lightly but I am trained for it through time in uniform so wouldn't lose any sleep over putting down the likes of Ian Huntley, Roy Whiting, Rose West etc

Most definitely yes. We put dogs to sleep that cause injury and yet house, feed and care for scum that kill. Knife attacks conducted by those with no moral compass, terrorists guided by their twisted logic and religious rhetoric.

It is the states responsibility to care for and protect its citizens. Capital punishment should be part of that care procedure.

People say it’s uncivilised to execute criminals,

I believe it’s civilised to do so.

Having said that though, I would only condone its use with 100% proof of guilt via forensic evidence.

But it will never happen. We don’t have balls or backbone anymore.

Technology today such as cctv.dna and so on can prove undoubtedly that someone is guilty of a crime.so if there's no doubt and they have done a despicable crime then the death penalty should be used.

Prisons are more like holiday camps now thanks to the pc world idiots and people wonder why the rates reoffending is as high as it is.Theres no real harsh punishments anymore.

I garrentee if punishments for crime was more severe then there would be a lot less crime and I also garrentee if there was the death penalty then there would be less murders x

How do you explain one of the lowest reoffending rates in a country that has no death penalty or life sentence.

I accept that no justice or penal system is perfect and people can always point out individual cases. However if we had a system where we could reduce the reoffending rate by 50 % this would cut the current prison population which is about 84000.

England and Wales the reconvictions rates are more than 70% with an average cost of £40,000 a year for each prisoner, this amounts to a huge investment in failure and a total lack of consideration for potential future victims of released prisoners.

Harsh sentences and punishment regimes have proven not to be a deterrent or even effective in reducing recidivism.

We all need to step away from the lock em up throw away the key / Chop their heads off attitudes whilst being a popular stand clearly do not work and is so expensive to maintain.

Much better to look at systems that have much more success

"Does that then make the person pressing the button a murderer?

Mrs "

No, the legal definition of murder is the illegal killing of a human being by another. Execution by the state/crown following due process of law is a legal killing so does not fit the definition of being illegal required for it to be murder.

How are you going to guarantee any of that?

The evidence from the US, where some states have capital punishment and some don't, shows no significant difference in murder rates between States that do and don't.

The death penalty is only applied on those whom it does not deter. All forms of punishment, rehabilitation etc. are applied on those who are not deterred by it. Are people really saying that the death penalty causes the crime? Prevention of crimes has zero to do with the penal system and belongs to proper education and proper methods of working with people who are likely to offend. It has NOTHING to do with the death penalty. It's not about deterring other people it's about responding to those who have already crossed the line!

But let's say we persist in this false relation.. Every single individual who does not commit the crime can be considered to have been deterred by the death penalty in those states. Unless you're saying everyone commits murder. Let's get the numbers of those people and compare to those who were not deterred. All who do not murder have been deterred, case closed, it works!

Once you commit premeditated murder you do NOT deserve rehabilitation or to live unless it's an exceptional circumstance where the family of the victim can forgive. Otherwise, off with their murdering heads.

Capital punishment is exactly that, punishment. You murder, you die too. That's justice.

Does rehabilitation bring the dead victim back? No! So I don't get why people bring up these arguments towards the death penalty. Simple justice, you kill, you get killed. I don't see why we have so much compassion for cold blooded murderers. Funny thing is that while people want to rehabilitate murderers and coddle them, they call those who support death penalty immoral, cruel, evil, wrong, murderers themselves etc.

Oh well. This is an interesting topic overall. Great thoughts and opinions being shared. It clearly matters that we got/get this right.

There are no plans to leave The European Court Of Human Rights in 2022 or anytime there after and the European Court Of Human Rights is based on The European Convention On Human Rights which in turn is the mechanism used in the UK to implement the UN's Declaration Of Human Rights which does allow for executions. So, if we wanted to reintroduce capital punishment we could do so without leaving either the European Convention or Court Of Human Rights.

And since you cannot have 100% certainty in 100% of the cases, wrongful conviction has everything to do with punishment.

New evidence is found years after trial, and if so happens it was a wrongful conviction, you killed an innocent person.

"For example if a guy punched another guy during a fight and killed him will he get max punnishment no he would get 5-7 yrs at the very most.

Should he be killed?

I disagree. If you punch another person in the face you are clearly trying to do actual bodily harm to that person and you are also fully aware that such action could lead to that persons death. It's also not reasonable to try and say that it's possible to punch someone in the face by accident so it must be also reasonable to assume that the person throwing the punch must have decided to punch the other person in the face, therefore there is an element of premedication involved. By any reasonable definition causing the death of someone as a result of a physical assault, especially punching them in the face, is murder and probably premeditated murder.
