With all the threads on paedophiles, terrorists, Chico etc - how many of you believe that some people are inherently evil and should, therefore, have their crimes punished by death and how many believe that no-one in their right mind could commit attociously violent crimes and therefore they must be mentally ill and should be 'treated' rather than incarcerated.

Controversially, I believe that all of our personnas are subject to the physical makeup of our brain. I therefore vote for the latter 'treatment' option.
Once inside, we'll fry their brains, castrate the paedos and search for the final solution...do I sound too much like a Nazi? -

What we should do with such people is an interesting question. At the moment there is no way to treat them. However it is clearly unfair to kill them. So they should be incarcerated for life. And life should mean life.Hard Brexit now!

1st offence - treatment in a secure environment for 5 years
2nd offence - secure prison for 10 years
3rd offence - death

Clearly unfair to kill them?
Originally posted by sasguruUnpopular though the idea is, neuroscience is increasingly showing that some people really can't control their actions e.g. psychopaths lack activity in a key area of their brain - there is a physical problem. Another piece of evidence is that some people who develop brain tumours have their behaviour totally changed afterwards.

Replace death sentense with proper full life sentence (death is too quick to be a good punishment).Comment

Originally posted by sasguruBecause no one should be punished by death for what they have no choice over. However as you say society should protect itself. Hence the locking up solution which is the most humane option available.Comment

No one?

Not even the victims of murderers?
Not even the victims of rapists?
Why should those victims be forced to pay for the incarceration of the animals who destroyed their lives? (Obviously not the victims of murderers, d'oh!) If someone is going to spend the rest of their life in prison, what is the point of keeping them alive, that actually sounds more spiteful and vengeful than death.Why not?Comment

On another tack the Nazis tried your death solution. Problem is they labelled anyone who disagreed with them as deviant or damaged. Now imagine that Labour took your idea on board. How soon before most people on this forum would be executed?Hard Brexit now!
