Summary
We want the Government to pass a law to reintroduce capital punishment for the most serious crimes against children, including child murder, rape, and extreme abuse. We believe that crimes such as the murder, rape, and severe abuse of children are among the most serious offences that can be committed. Recent cases have caused significant public concern and many people feel that current punishments do not adequately reflect the severity of these crimes. We want the Government to change the law to allow the strongest possible penalty for those convicted of the most heinous crimes against children.
