[quote]OK, so lets look at the two sides

- Capital Punishment - 
State maintained law and order under governing rules of behaviour for the society in question.....includes legal process, legal review and is enshrined in law by Act of Parliament. Acts of Parliament are created by the sitting Government, voted in by whichever legal voting means is employed at the time, reflecting the views of the majority population (I state majority population based on the voting system, not by overall % and not by volume of noise generated by objection in debates or protest.....like it or not, thats 'the system')

- No Capital Punishment -
An society that accepts abhorent and illegal behaviour by the population including murder, abuse, torture and other dispicalble acts, but with a view to accepting and tolerating that these people are a) capable of being supported to change their bad behaviour b) are to be leniently dealt with by detention methods of prison or mental hospital c) allowed some form of 'parole' to re-enter society based on a humanitarian baseline belief that all men are equal, but that also represents a repeat risk of offence to an unsuspecting innocent..........

So, one system tries to remove offenders from society with no chance of repeat offending = one way of looking after the population by duty of care remove risk and threat

the other system tolerates a small risk of re-offending and the chance that the duty of care to remove a risk and threat is carried out.......duty of care to wider population to shield them from murderes and very bad offenders carries a small risk of getting it wrong, in the same way that Capital Punishment does with a miscarriage of justice...............

Fine line, but i'd be unhappy if I or a anyone else was wrongly convicted.....I'd be as unhappy if a family member or close friend was killed by a re-offending murderer on parole.........

I know which side of balance i'd currently choose.[/quote]
