Death penalty?

Unfortunately yes, my state (Pennsylvania) has the death penalty. I don't think it works as a means of preventing crimes. Criminals who commit death-penalty level offenses don't have any worries about it. The death penalty increases the costs of prosecuting criminals because of the appeals process. But because the appeals process is necessary (so that innocent people can have a means to free themselves) we can't reduce this cost. Therefore, life in prison is the cheaper option and it is the fairer one because it gives an innocent person a lifetime to prove their innocence.

US, some states have it others don't.  My state does, but rarely are people executed

No death penalty here.

In a perfect and just legal system, I'd be all for the death penalty for those who are beyond rehabilitation, and rapists in general.

But the lines are blurred when the system is easily corrupted by those with power and has to much potential for false imprisonment.



Finland, and no death penalty here. I'm also against it. No human should have the power to decide whether another human gets to live or not. It's also prone to error, and once to make that error, you can't correct it. And as far as I know, it's not effective in preventing crimes either, so it's not really very beneficial to have.



Only two countries in the Americas or Europe have it, the US and Ukraine. So unless you are one of those two countries, Asian, or African, you don't have it.

Nope. Wish it did.



Yep, but I don't agree with it. Personally, I feel like it's an easy way out for people who have committed serious crimes, I'd much rather them waste their life away. I also don't think people should dictate whether someone else should live or not. And it doesn't really seem to prevent anything, so...



Not in Spain, and I'm glad for that.



Germany and no. All countries in the EU are not allowed to have it and that's good. Looking at the past, it didn't prevent crime and Europe had some of the cruelest death penalties in human history. Humans still killed other humans.

Pretty much my feelings on this matter, if there is a person who literally only does damage to the world and those in it I would rather see them quickly and cheaply removed from the planet.

I live in Ireland though where our cops do not have guns and the average utter scumbag can have upwards of 300 convictions and still not be behind bars, honestly after they've been convicted more than 10 times for things they've shown they have no interest in playing nice with others and should be just buried, don't even waste a bullet imo on people who only live to inflict pain on others, just dig hole, put in box, bury.
