i think the death penalty should be brought back into uk law. i think it is a good punishment because, and i'm gonna be a typical 17 year old here, if you take someone else's life then you don't deserve to have your own. period. i also believe that the threat of the death penalty would decrease the homicide rate significantly. evidently, some kill out of passion are not likely to be threatened by the death penalty but for those who do not kill out of passion, the death penalty is going to be great deterrent.

i know you're all probably going to disagree with me here but i welcome your counter-arguments.
