It wouldn't. Plenty of states in the US have the death penalty for murder, I don't think their homicide stats are anything to envy.

If your a psycho killer, your going to be a psycho killer with whatever you can lay your hands on. Your not going to say.."oooh, I want to kill someone but I can't buy a gun.. so.. maybe I'll take up knitting instead.." |

Not strictly true - there are countries with far higher firearms per head of population than the US, but have far lower gun crime rates. The Swiss, Finland, Canada just to name three.

If you assume "life" means 25 years. - Which it doesn't. It usually means around 15 years, if that. Hence death row is more expensive.

I think the argument would disappear if life imprisonment really did mean life imprisonment, not a pathetic 15 years or whatever.
At the moment, IMHO the criminal justice system in the UK leans too far in the direction of the offender. Ns04 |

I think hard labour, chain gang style. Get serious offenders working, breaking rocks or something equally grim.
If they refuse to work dish them a couple of shots of tazer and off to "The Hole" for 72 hours in pitch black, no food, no toilet, no bed. In my opinion these people give up their human rights when they commit the crimes discussed above. |
didnt most of the country get all uppity a couple of weeks ago when the Saudis were here and their human rights record was ripped apart because they execute criminals?
so if we start executing criminals what is the difference? and although they execute for crimes that we preceive as more minor an execution is still an execution. |
