Could you show us where capital punishment has worked as a deterrent?
But then I guess you were just ahead of johnny in that queue

Totally irrelevant.

It's not a deterrent.
It work in the way that the sub-human will not commit any further crime and gives victims and reasonable people a sense of justice and closure.

Well it certainly prevents any reoccurrence..................

Well it certainly prevents any reoccurrence..................

not really.

it is quite popular in countries where justice systems are a bit iffy

For example, Derek Bentley never killed anybody. Did hanging him prevent him committing murders?

How about James Hanratty ?

Timothy Evans?

Stefan Kiszko?

If Hugh Callaghan, Patrick Joseph Hill, Gerard Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, William Power and John Walker had been hanged, would they have committed few murders?

Robert Brown?

Sean Hodgson?

Winston Silcott?

Michael Shirley?

Michael O'Brien, Darren Hall and Ellis Sherwood?

Steven Miller, Yusef Abdullahi, and Tony Paris?

Sally Clark?

Donna Anthony?

Angela Cannings?

Barri White?

How about if you were hanged tomorrow?
Would that reduce the number of murders you commit?

 

[EFLImpudence]

That was not the argument.

It was that people killing the criminals would be no better than the criminals.

It doesn't need to work as a deterrent, if the culprits are removed from the gene pool.

There are various arguments.

Such 'brave' words. But pointless of course.

Because that would make you no better than them!

Plus you'd be up for murder yourself

Best you try and get the weak UK justice system changed instead of spouting a meaningless rant!

Good points well made.....Fk me,,have I really just posted that!

Well yes , unless I get my act together quickly.

Punishment or sentence in many cases does not fit the crime

what will they get for duffing up a 70 year old ???

but u can get 10 years for this Chinese virus caper

Deterents imho have nowt to do with it

retribution is what is required against some of these scum bags

Some of em should stop breathing

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Deterents imho have nowt to do with it

So why do civilised societies have a penal system at all?

retribution is what is required against some of these scum bags

Who applies this 'retribution'?

Some of em should stop breathing

It's very difficult to overcome a reflexive response.
