It's more of a cultural thing. Look at America where Capital Punishment still exists in most states...even per capita their crime rate is much higher than ours.
Basically if someone kills say 15 babies. They really do deserve to die. It's all circumstance like.
i do agree with this to a point, but if they're put in jail then most of the time at some point they get out, i dont think this should happen if their crime is really bad like murder or rape etc.
i was reading about a man the other day who beat and cruely abused his partners 3 year old daughter, one day he beat her so bad that she had a fit, she was taken to hospital with severe head injuries and internal bleeding. amongst other things he tied her to a radiator so that he could beat her when he felt like it, and lifting her by her legs and swinging her bashing her head on the wall, the child never woke up and a few days later had a heart attack in hospital and died. he's 21, he got 10 years. so when he's 31 he will get out and live the rest of his life. the mother let it happen, she got 3 years :eek: i meant wtf! how can it be fair that they get out to carry on with the rest of their lives.
Lol 99.9% is as accurate as you're going to get. Plus DNA is only one method, usually there'll be other evidence with the DNA that'll convict the criminal aswell.
hmmm id rather keep em alive and let em realsie the consquences of what they're done, rather than 'remove' them
Good point...place them in a cell full of shit and rats and give them 30 whips a day!
hahahaha i wouldn't mind too much personally but imo just deprive them of their freedoms, oh and give them this countries school dinners whilst schoolkids get prisoners food (which is better than schoolfood) and that includes swappnig the staff over also
It could be argued that the threat of castration could be a deterrent or a protective measure, like jail.
Edit: I've just seen i've duplicated a point made above
Try desperately to live in foul and degrading conditions mainly. Though they are given jobs to do in some places.
Capital punishment is morally wrong because its murder, I cant see how its any different.
And for those who think prison is easy, I'll ask, why do you think so many prisoners try and kill themselves?
On the main topic, I don't think we should have a justice system based on revenge, and that's all capital punishment is. No irreversable 'procedures' should be carried out unless the justice system is right 100% of the time, and since that is never going to happen, capital punishment should never be brought back.
you've never been inside a prison have you?
I sometimes visit prisons as part of my job. They're not anything like how the tabloids paint them.
Out of Curiosity, what are they really like then?
Minimum security prisons arent that bad, but they are still no where near nice, you're locked away with strangers away from all the people you know for a start.
And when they move around the prison or from different prisons? Or the guards just happen to let them wander off into an area where they are attacked?
By your logic we should torture and beat rapists, and that makes us better than them how?
so what do they deserve then because imo just sitting in prison is not good enough
You say that as though prison isnt a punishment, its a fairly nasty place you know.
for someone that has done something so wrong, the punishment doesnt fit the crime
So we should torture them, put them on the rack maybe, pull their finger nails out? Hell why dont we hang draw and quater them? That would work wonders on the crime rate.
ye i agree why not?
Maybe because we have moved forward slightly since the Middle Ages, because torture is morally wrong in all cases without exception.
If we torture a rapist how are we better than them?
