In 1949, Germany outlawed the death penalty. Previous death sentences were replaced by life in jail terms. The German constitution requires that prisoners have are checked for release on parole every 15 years.
@9K4LK462mos2MO
The government should make a desicion on if the death penalty is valid and then give the option to the family.
No, and abolish the punitive justice system entirely and replace it with a fully rehabilitative one.
Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence. Too many people are innocently convicted.
@9FZPB4J6mos6MO
I am well aware about the death penalty, but in certain cases I feel the riches come out fine but the poor are the ones that get killed. That is why if they have full proven and right evidence about the crime that was committed then I support it , but if they don’t then I don’t support it.
@9CYHNZNFree Voters9mos9MO
Suffering is necessary to show that no one should commit bad crimes
@9CH3Y7810mos10MO
no, some people deserve death for their crimes but I don't think anyone or the goverment should have to right to put them to death
@9BDB5GZ1yr1Y
no life in prison becuase too many people are innocently convicted
@9B593N61yr1Y
Yes, but only for the most extreme crimes.
I don’t have an opinion
I support death penalty based on what you have done and If it is 100% proven. If you killed someone, you should also get the same exact death you killed them with, unless it was an accident.
Only for specific War criminals
@95WV7S2Free Voters2yrs2Y
Only if a horrific crime happens again even after returning to society.
@93FFQ8V2yrs2Y
Yes, but the prisoner should be able to choose if they would rather spend life in prison or receive a medically assisted suicide.
@8W2JM7V3yrs3Y
only if the person is a real life threat to society and everyone around him
@8VF5FYJ3yrs3Y
Only certain horrific crimes where the person is guilty with no remorse or care for punishment
@8V6XYSB3yrs3Y
Yes, most prisoners deserve the penalty
Yes, but only for repeat offenders that can't be rehabilitated.
@8CM6DHC4yrs4Y
Yes, the death penalty is the best form of punishment
@9D23G5PAlliance ’90/Greens9mos9MO
The offender should have the choice of serving time or accepting the death penalty.
@8LSW2WV3yrs3Y
Yes, it should be a more common punishment

No, automatic appeals make it significantly more expensive than a life sentence.
@928PJ8Q2yrs2Y
No, life in solitary confinement would be a far better deterrent
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, but only with euthanasia that kills instantly.
@6T6Y4L22yrs2Y
Yes, but only for cases involving murder
@WhenDidISayThis2yrs2Y
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, because too many people are innocently convicted. Plus, I think that spending life in prison is a harsher sentence because the dead don't suffer unless their soul was sent to hell that is.
@934R57G2yrs2Y
No, life without parole does the same thing at 1/3 of the costs.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anything against animals.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, for those sentenced to life in prison as well as for those sentenced to death, but in both cases, only when further appeal is impossible or not desired.
@92WTP232yrs2Y
No, it would be less expensive to implement life in prison without parole
@8ZYQ3HP2yrs2Y
I believe it should all depend on the person and situation.
@LiamHal786386402yrs2Y
Yes and use it on more criminals to decrease the prison population
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, bring back public executions for those who have raped, done anything gruesome to an animal, or those who have murdered anyone for no reason.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anyone who has harmed the weak.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Execute rapists, any unprovoked murders, anything gruesome against animals, and anything against the weak.
@92458D22yrs2Y
The punishment should fit with the crime in which the criminal committed
@ThomasJ2492yrs2Y
Yes, but only for rapists, anything forced sexually, anything against animals, and anything terrorist in nature.
@8ZVZ2J52yrs2Y
Yes, but I think that the death penalty should be an opt-in program for any incarcerated individual who's serving an extended sentence.
@8ZTJN9H2yrs2Y
Yes, but only in cases with sevral murders
@ThomasJ4762yrs2Y
Yes, but only for rapists, unprovoked murders and anything against animals.
