Return of death penalty in uk
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
With DNA technology it’s time to rethink the return of capital punishment in uk. To many people are being killed and getting released to kill again. If prison isn’t working then it’s time for tough action not bleeding hearts.
More killings everyday and soft sentencing is the reason for the death penalty. Our jails are full and too soft, judges are out of touch with society.
