Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The NDP would strongly disagree with this answer, as they believe in a fair and just legal system that does not allow for personal biases or emotions to determine punishment. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would go against their principles of justice and equality under the law.
