after all murder can sometimes be forgivable but rape and phaedophiles there is simply no excuse.

Public execution in its day was a god send to all vulnerable people in any socially deprived background where events such as the above listed were common. It provided a public humiliation of the reprobate and signified a capitalist status of the British law enforcement which I feel any person would not risk their life to breach. (With the exception of a minority.)
Sadly I feel that with the law becoming somewhat lenient, impotent and less punishing to delinquents and potential threats acting out these derogatory crimes it becomes easier to commit the offences.
In my own opinion I feel that public execution should be brought back to show some backbone and authority of the law to the criminal. It would also have its evident benefits such as making the public safer from homicidal, sadistic and psychologically impaired killers/paedophiles/rapists. It would also clear prison cells and subsequently prison congestion to an extent, which is one critical problem for the government at present.
Everyone wins so what implication is there to say not to bring it back?
Look, we can't even deport foreign murderers after they've served their sentence, so what chance have you got of reinstating the rope?
It wouldn't change anything.
that would be hard considering liberals and groups like the ACLU support people like pedophiles freedoms
Public executions (campaigned against by Charles Dickens amongst others) were abolished because they had become carnivals when the idea was to use them as a deterrent.
Execution is state sanctioned revenge and while emotionally I can't argue that paedophiles and rapists should be shown any mercy, I still believe that if you don't have an infallable justice system you can't kill criminals - and we haven't.
How many men are released from prison after the alleged rape victim has admitted she lied?
Those men would have been executed and that is just not acceptable.
It would certainly get some attention from those who do wish to do those acts. It would make for a fun filled picnic on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
It would present a deterent and that is one thing that we do not have. Deterents do work.
One major reason it was outlawed in the past was because of the innocent people that were executed.
Today we have DNA and all the science necessary to prove without reasonable doubt. Any less than that would be appealed and converted to life sentences.
Bring it back and include the birch as well.
Yes
The sooner the better!
only if westart with president G W BUSH.. seriously no i dont think its a good idea. to many innocent have gone to the gallows on a lie or false accusation. besides it has neverstopped any crimes, ever!! just read history
err... no because we British are cilivised.
No. The death penalty is not a deterrant. People were executed for just about any crime in the middle ages, yet crime was far higher then than it is even now. The US is the only western country to have the death penalty, yet they have the largest prison population and highest incidence of violent crime.
As for PUBLIC execution, how much more barbaric can you get? Are you really willing to sink to the level of animals so that you can have your party whilst another human being is killed?
yes but only real murdering scumbags like T Blair who lie to us and then send our young boys and girls to Iraq,Afghanistan etc with sub standard equipment,Then when they are wounded given little or no thought to there treatment.
Public execution?
Are you mad? There is more than enough violence on our streets already without legalising it & making it having the government provide it.
Where do you suggest we have these public executions? The village green perhaps or the local park on a Sunday afternoon?
the death penalty is the easy way out, and as for public executions omg what has happened in your life to make you think this way? I am anti death penalty, however I do believe that when life is passed down in a court of law that it should mean life, throw in a lot of hard labour and make them produce their own food let them know there is no such thing as a 'free lunch'
so what form of justice do you know that is unable to make mistakes. The reason we don't execute people is beacuse you can never totally prove that someone is guilty of whatever crime they've been charged with.
No way, the law makes too many mistakes as it is. Killing is wrong
well it would be better than watching big brother
What if you are born as a paedophile? It's very unfortunate.
I don't support paedophiles at all, but we need to find a way for paedophiles not to harm children.
Whilst you're at it, you had better define 'Paedophilia' as well, because, in addition to 'rape', there are an assortment of alleged sex crimes that fall within its definition. In your book, murder, child abduction and/or torture, seem to be lesser crimes. What would you do with those that falsely accuse others of rape?
Are you sucking up to the extremist feminist lobby? who incidentally, do a good job already in protecting the female interest.
Don't agree with Capitol punishment, particularly when its for the entertainment of sicko-es.
No way I think they should be locked up & the key thrown away.
