Bring Back The Death Penalty

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Furthermore, the current time the world needs harsher sentences and potential punishments for breaking the law. With the technology and advancements been made in the current day there’s no doubt the wrong person would get convicted as we have: CCTV, DNA etc
Now we do need to make a system so the wrong people aren’t being convicted however! We could make a small little court system that reviews courts wanting to use this punishment for serious crimes such as rape, murder and abduction of children etc. This then if approved by the two courts (one wanting permission + the one reviewing it and granting permission) wants this to be a punishment for the victims and safety of society it will happen!
