Read another gruesome story about a family of 8 being murdered in cold blood. Old lady burnt to death gradually by heating water in an electric kettle etc. I know all the stats say the death penalty doesn't reduce violent crime, I know innocent people get convicted, I know the moral arguments.

But part of me wonders if bringing the death penalty back would make our society even a little bit safer? Of help families find more peace after their loved ones are taken away?

What do you think? I'm old enough to remember it being enforced but wasn't old enough to understand what it meant to people
