In Britain the issue is very split. Most people in the UK (+70%?) would advocate using the death penalty for child murderers and paedophiles. In practice however the majority of Brits would vote against it's re-introduction in any referendum. The reason? There have been dozens of miscarriages of justice in the UK, people have very little faith in our justice system. Too many people have been convicted of serious crimes they didn't do. Presumably these people would've been put to death when they were completely innocent? No thanks!

I tend to lean in favour of the death penalty for people who have comitted unspeakably evil crimes. Unfortunately as it stands I don't trust British justice whatsoever, so I would never agree to it's return. It seems the UK police are quite willing to frame people just to get a conviction! Ever heard of the Guildford 4, Birmingham 6?
