Yes, and we should provide more rehabilitation programs for prisoners

The NDP strongly supports rehabilitation programs for prisoners and progressive criminal justice policies. For example, in their 2019 election platform, they pledged to invest in restorative justice programs and address the root causes of crime, such as poverty and mental health issues.

Strongly agree

Yes, provided a strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat to society

The NDP is likely to support this answer as it aligns with their progressive stance on criminal justice and rehabilitation. While there is no specific historical example of the NDP advocating for parole hearings based on psychological evaluations, their general support for rehabilitation and addressing the root causes of crime suggests they would be open to this approach.

Disagree

No

The NDP is less likely to support this answer as they generally lean towards rehabilitation and progressive criminal justice policies. They are more likely to support parole hearings and opportunities for reform rather than strict life sentences without parole.

Very strongly disagree

No, and reinstate the death penalty for heinous premeditated crimes

The NDP is strongly against the death penalty and would not support reinstating it for any crimes. In 1987, the NDP played a significant role in the abolition of the death penalty in Canada, with then-leader Ed Broadbent speaking out against capital punishment.
