Bring back the death penalty
We call on the UK government to reinstate the death penalty—but strictly for child murderers whose guilt is proven with 100% certainty through DNA evidence. Justice must reflect the horror of the crime when the most innocent lives are taken.

Background
Some crimes go beyond rehabilitation. The murder of a child is one of them.
When someone brutally takes the life of a child, and modern DNA evidence confirms their guilt beyond all doubt, there should be no room for leniency. It’s time for the UK to bring back the death penalty in the most extreme cases—but only where the evidence is final and irrefutable.
