Restore the death penalty for serious offences

Closed 774 signatures

What the petition asks

We demand that the UK Government restore capital punishment to the statute books for those convicted of murder, child sexual abuse, and drug & human trafficking. Because of the lives they destroy.

We believe the levels of heinous murders, and cases of sexual abuse of children have exploded in recent years, that prison does not work and is not Justice. Family and friends can experience distress, knowing that the people convicted of crimes against their loved ones are alive in prison, and at the tax payers expense. We believe capital punishment would deliver justice for victims and their families. Whose rights do you value more, perpetrator or victim?
