I believe the victim’s family should decide. However, I also believe that the person found guilty needs to thoroughly be proven guilty.
@97VCSDT2yrs2Y
For those who commit sexual crimes upon children.
@9GZYG4J1yr1Y
Yes, for Homicide, mass murderer, serial killer, terrorist, rape, crime against children, crime against humanity and act of treason against the peoples of Canada.
@9D4YVYK1yr1Y
No. We should focus on rehabilitation of people in prisons rather than punishment and/or death.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
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.
@9JZV4G611mos11MO
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%
@9JBXLXS12mos12MO
It depends on the crime. Those who abuse children, especially Autistic children who went through ABA (applied behavioural analysis, which is objectively abusive, many Autistics myself included have had PTSD from it. Look it up), or are cops who kill POC or disabled people, vilify them based on race, sexual orientation or disability. Like George Floyd’s killer for example absolutely deserved it more than anything. Those who are clearly mentally ill should go to a mental health institution but provide rehabilitation so they are no longer a danger. But both the victims family or even the perpetrator should decide the punishment. It’s a complex answer.

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