You know, perversely Sharia law offers 3 options for this- 1) Retribution, simply demanding the killer also be killed, 2) Receive Payment of blood money in liu of demanding the death of the killer, or 3) The family of the deceased may forgive the killer.Putting the views of the victim or victims families first now there's something new!
You're going back in time though.
These days you can't even blow your nose without being on CCTV, or with someone recording you on their phone, plus we have DNA science to aid us as well.
You'll still have the defence liars trying every trick in the book to get you off though, as that's what these shameless bastards do, even when they know you're guilty.

So if they can't do that, what chance is there of catching murderers etc, even when such crimes happen so much more infrequently?QuoteYou'll still have the defence liars trying every trick in the book to get you off though, as that's what these shameless bastards do, even when they know you're guilty. Yes, because *THAT'S THEIR JOB*! EVERYONE is entitled to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. Otherwise why don't we just go back to the old days of finding some likely person (especially whose face we don't like) and string them up from the nearest lamp post...?
May says it's nothing to do with police numbershttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/mar/04/no-link-between-knife-and-police-cuts-says-theresa-may
Right now you probably need stop and search as an emergency response. But long term it will work against you. The problem is the stuff you wanna hear, the stuff that makes good Sun, Mail and Express headlines, well none of it works.Another article on how we tackled knife crime here in Scotland.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-45572691
The purpose of reduced sentences is to encourage rehabilitation and remorse. I agree, for the worst murders this is not going to happen. In those cases life must mean life, and it mustn't be pleasant.
The only thing prison does is keep the general public safe from convicted criminals for the period of their sentence and very little else despite you are told by the powers that be. If it did there wouldn't be so many return time after time to H.M UNIVERSITY OF CRIME.
Nope that wouldn't work either celticdog most normal people couldn't/wouldn't plunge a knife into anyone or pull a trigger, or just hesitate untill it was to late.
IMHO capital punishment for indisputable guilt, such as the murderers of Lee Rigby, should be reintroduced. I am not interested in rehabilitating or reforming anyone like that. They chose murder, they should be treated equally.Also IMHO there has been a gradual removal of discipline and deterrent over recent years. In my neighbourhood there are feral kids doing all kinds of mischief with no concern whatsoever for being caught or getting "a good telling off". Clearly they carry this through to adulthood and expect to get their own spoilt way in all matters.
As I said before, the police should've done things American style
QuoteAs I said before, the police should've done things American style Fire a dozen bullets into any black person they don't like the look of? Hmmmmm.

Possibly one of the most retarded responses you've said yet, when we were clearly talking about the killers of Lee Rigby!
