I'm in favour of the death penalty for serious crimes such as armed robbery and home invasions however I do believe in due process and do not support having the police execute suspects unless their own life is in danger.
Putting aside my own dislike of delinquents I think the swedish model which is much more lenient in terms of rehabilitating criminals and reducing redicisivism is better for society and as much as I think it's too soft that may be the better approach to dealing with crime.
gotcha. personally, i'm only in favour of capital punishment for the most extreme kind of crimes, like murder, terrorism, or sexual abuse of children for example - and even for those crimes only in theory, as i don't think executing that scum is worth killing innocent people in the process, which unfortunately happens all the time in countries that still have the death penalty.
thanks for your reply though, i was genuinely wondering how strict you think criminal justice should be in general.
