I have my own way of thinking but if it was my choice it would be if you was to kill someone you should be tortured in the worst possible way imagined, if you was a child malester/rape someone you should have your genitals cut off, put in a sell given no food just your own genitals to eat and then left to starve, and if you was to steal something that isnt yours i think your hands shoud be cut off.

this may all seem a bit OTT but that is the way i think about it.

Criminals are still human beings. At one point they were innocent children, they weren't born criminals or evil, their life made them who they are. Maybe if we concentrated more on the wrongs of society than the end product, we wouldn't have to have this discussion.

I would say yes, but i don't fully trust our justice system.

Like someone has already said, let them rot away in jail. When someone is sentenced to life in jail, give them no luxuries whatsoever. Give them a few slices of scummy bread, non clean water, no bed, no decent toilet etc.

...But for this to be effective though our justice system needs to be reinvented. If you can convince the judge that you didn't do blah de blah they you will get away with much less, but in countries like France i believe it is a much different system where the defendent has less chance to speak and the court is held in order to find out the truth, rather than who comes up with the best story (inquisitional v pastoral or something i believe).

I think the death penalty would deter people, but then as said, there's the big "what if they get it wrong" thing, so i don't really agree with it.

What i do agree with however, is that when someone gets given life behind bars, it means life behind bars, not 12 years if they behave themselves.

Light sentences for serious crimes just takes the piss. I think something should be done to stop people so readily killing each other, but the death penalty is a little OTT. Anyway, where's the suffering in a quick death?

f**k the death penalty, I say torture the f**ker, if I molested your kid, what would you want to do to me?

If i went and killed 4 different people, say your father and brother, and was out in 6 years what would you think?

Torture, those who molest, rape, murder, and attack.

I'd happily serve the justice as well.

He sounds like he needs westernizing.

So you guys dont mind the fact that there IS rapest's and murders roaming the streets looking for there next victim?

Because ino for a fact that if a member of your family got killed by one of those scum you wouldn't be like oh well its done now lets send him to jail for a couple of years maybe when he gets out he will be a changed person. If it was a member of my family that got killed by someone deliberatly i would want to kill them!

I dont think it should be brought back because i reckon it would be a step backwards, no matter what killing someone is wrong really.

Then again i wouldnt say waking them up at 5 oclock everymorning for a smash around with a brick would be wrong :\

I used to agree with the Death Penalty but only in cases of someone being found guilty beyond reasonable doubt and I don't think that'll ever happen and for that reason I now think that it's not plausible to reinstate it.

I do however believe that we need to start cracking down and the Justice system needs a major major shake up! Life should mean life! Stop with the cushy prisons. I recently went round to speak to the mother of a youth that had been jailed and she said herself that it wasn't really a cell he was in but more a hotel room with a bed, widescreen t.v. and various other luxuries. It's seen as a holiday camp now.

So tougher sentences i.e. Life for murder (Meaning life), less of the luxuries that criminals have come to expect, and to an extent get rid of the human rights act. I believe anyone that commits a serious crime i.e. Rape, Murder, Armed Robbery and various others should have their human rights taken away and treated like complete shit! Start getting tough on the gangs as well. National Service should be brought back and anyone that has made no attempt to find a job or seek further education by the time they're 25 should be enlisted in the armed forces. Send the chavvy kids off to boot camp so they have some discipline drilled into them.

More of a rant than anything but working in the Police I see how shit this country has become. I believe that unless something drastic happens (Which it won't!), then the generation growing up today is a lost cause and things shall only get worse.

Couldn't agree more...

Funny how nobody has answered my previous point.

If somebody murdered a relative or friend, would you be happy to see them out of prison in 8 or so years?

The whole thing about "nobody was born...." is crap, sure, they weren't born a killer but they pulled the trigger, carried the knife and stabbed with it or abused that child. They deserve no sympathy and definitely deserve more than a few years in a cushty little prison.

I see what your all saying and dont disagree or agree, but putting someone to death for armed robbery?

I think that is a bit OTT as i know someone currently in prison for armed robbery, and the reason he did

it waas because he was sleeping on the streets, he wasnt on drugs or nothing like that just needed some cash

to try and make his life better. So i think the goverment should try and help people like this before they have the

chance to commit a crime.

The person you just mentioned wouldn't get the death penalty anyway, unless he killed his victim.

Surely the victims family would want them out of prison and to know the whereabouts of said killer
