I believe the victim’s family should decide. However, I also believe that the person found guilty needs to thoroughly be proven guilty.

No, death penalty is no different than murder. Zero parole for entire life, not just a life sentence, and support consecutive life sentences.

No, punitive justice is never justified. Each criminal should be afforded comfortable living conditions and rehabilitation if deemed possible.

 @9GZYG4Jfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, for Homicide, mass murderer, serial killer, terrorist, rape, crime against children, crime against humanity and act of treason against the peoples of Canada.

 @9D4YVYKfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

No. We should focus on rehabilitation of people in prisons rather than punishment and/or death.

Death penalty is immoral. It's not okay to kill anyone even if they are a bad person. Death penalty is something that should be outlawed. Lots of innocent people end up killed in countries with death penalty.

I support it, with irrevocable proof. But I also know a lot that were on death row, were innocently convicted. But the amount of money that would go into retrial, was hefty back then. Serial killers should, receive the death penalty. 100%
