Should drug traffickers receive the death penalty?

Yes, if there is substantial evidence indicating their lack of concern for human life. And no indication of remorse after prison sentence is completed. Additionally, if they are repeat offenders after being released from prison.

Yes, but only if they were trafficking drugs that were highly lethal or were likely to hurt/kill not just the consumers, but the people around them.

No, they should be given a fair trail to determine their role in the drug distributions hierarchy, and then tried accordingly.

if given a free trial also depending on what the crime they did

No, life imprisonment would be better than killing them instantly.

no they should be awarded money

Yes if it's related to murdering and killing

The ones caught trafficking drugs across borders and state lines are usually mules who have been enticed by threat or payment and have difficult circumstances. The likelihood that the decisions they made were made under duress are very high.

No, they should receive addictions counselling and rehab. Killing someone for drug dealing is not okay.

Only for the highest level of drug traffickers and cartels

No, people ask for drugs. I dont believe in the death penalty. Nor do I support it.

Yes, if it is a fair trial and they are a repeat offender or if they can be directly linked to a death.

No, and decriminalize drug trafficking. People should be free to sell and buy anything including drugs, but not including other people (slavery should not be allowed).

No, and they should not even be sent to jail, unless they sold drugs to minors.

This is the toughest question on this test. I would argue no, purely because it is a very situational job. Some people may be forced into that life, others may choose it. I don't think the death penalty is fitting for this crime, however there should be a long sentence for mass-distribution.

Yes but only if the accused knowingly trafficked a high volume of dangerous Class A and B narcotics.

Life in prison minimal and death sentence maximum. Drugs are not a need, they are a selfish want and are being produced by criminals and are killing our communities.

Convicted criminals should pay serious consequences for their crimes based on the severity of the crime

No, do time

I don't think that drug trafficking is bad enough on it's own to warrant a death penalty or even a life sentence, but maybe 20 years will do

No but, sentences should be very harsh especially for repeat offenders

Depending on the drug and the situation.

If death penalty is an option, it should be a choice for the convicted; life in prison or Death.

They should be sentenced to life. And sent to a corrections facility away from where their charges were as they could still have connections to the people around them.

NO, Absolutely NOT, any use of the Death Penalty violates The Ten Commandments

no sentence them to life with the possibility of parole

Yes! Canada has to rewrite its laws and become more aggressive with offenders. Criminals who possess, sell, or distribute illegal drugs ought to be considered domestic urban terrorists. As long as they target our youth, these people—including gangs and criminal motorcycle gangs—are tearing down the framework and producing instability in our nation. All assets and bank accounts, including those in foreign countries, shall be subject to seizure by Canadian courts.

This needs examined in a court of law, case by case, ‘what are the implied & the realized consequences of their action’.

either yes but only if there is proof someone died or sentence to life in prison without parole

No instead put them in jail for at least 2 years and above

what don;t that menning

sex traffickers SHALL DIE!!!

I would give harsher sentences.

Individuals who traffic drugs are drug addicts themselves. They need rehabilitation not incarceration among other criminals. Jails and prisons create better criminals.

Deport them.

No, and we should nationalize the drug industry to reduce deaths and help them by discouraging the use.

The death penalty is a completely unnecessary and unjust form of “justice”. Why is it legal for a government body to commit murder onto a person who has committed a crime against that government? This scenario is no different than gang violence reacting to one of their members being killed by a rival gang member.

It depends on how bad it really is.

Maybe. It really depends on how long they were trafficking drugs, why they were trafficking drugs, and if they were forced.

no but they should serve extra sentence per people who died

No, but they deserve a very harsh sentence for this.

No, and we instead focus on the issue of why people demand drugs in the first place.

Yes, if a perpetrator has a criminal background (I don't mean speeding tickets) or has a history of trafficking hard drugs. If one is caught selling to minors, yes.

No but, punish them by sending them to prison and giving them 60 years

Yes, in public execution and their families shall pay for the cost.

Only if someone died directly because of them

Depending of the severity of the drug

Yes, but only if they are repeated offenders and were given a fair trial.

Stiffer sentences potentially, with bracelet and probation aftercare.
Victim impact education possibly. Relocation programs perhaps, think victim protection almost and education and rehabilitation programs, funding.

Education, therapy, treatment should be the main; rehabilitate, dont exacerbate. These are human beings not animals. Treat them as such.

Focus should be on rehabilitation and investment.
