Do you support the death penalty?

Used as a deterrent but never actually carried out. Terminally ill prisoners are allowed to choose euthanasia and it is published as a death penalty to scare people into abiding the law.

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence.

Death penalty should be applied in the rarest of the rate case only when collective conscience of society is so shocked that life imprisonment appears to be inadequate

No. Death penalty is State sanctioned murder

Yes, but not to every crime just for the most offensive ones.

Not in all cases , more in favor of torturous imprisonment for un reform able criminals and terrorist, human right should not be applied to them and they should be treated as Pile of refuse. But only in the rarest of the rare cases

Only if not killing the criminal would worsen the problem; if Osama bin Laden had been imprisoned not killed, a string of terrorist attacks would have broken out demanding his release. In such circumstances, the criminal must be executed.

Should not be a part of civil society

No death penalty in a civilized society

Death penalty should be removed completely from civilized society.

Yes, but only for drug trafficking and terrorist activities resulting in mass deaths.

The state should not decide who gets to live

Yes , it can be allowed in some cases.

offcourse offender should be punished strictly but Treat the offender as a subject and study him/her social behaviour with a group of sociologists and anthropologists doing questionnaire about their social life and what led them to that particular offence and later using those studies state can make public policies to prevent or restrict offences in future.

No but the where the person is involved in killing many people or a serious rape case those person should be given death penalty

Yes. It should result in immediate death without much suffering and should be limited to horrific crimes where it seems impossible for a criminal to get rehabilitated.

The threat should always exist but should be used extremely sparingly.

Only for crimes against humanity and war crimes

Death penalty should exist only for terrorists, repeat rapists and serial murderers

It should be the last option as a punishment to serious crime

Yes but only to terrorist's

this is a very difficult topic to be said in just one line.

I think that rapist and terrorist should get death penalty with extreme torture but before that there body parts like Eyes, etc. Should removed and given to the people who need that part. And one more thing Govt. Should ensure that any innocent Don't have to suffer from this things after confession is given by accused then only process of taking body parts and extreme torture death penalty should apply. Investigation should be transparent to honest, proofs should be there.

No, but make it an option for offenders convicted of rape only

Yes, but only for waging war against India

No, not only do innocent people get convicted, but death penalty does not decrease crime rates. Focus should be on rehabilitation instead

No, death cannot compensate to what happened to the victim. Death penalty doesn’t reduce crime rates. Capital punishment should be abolished

How do the cultural or legal precedents in your community shape your views on the death penalty, if at all?

In your opinion, does the death penalty serve a moral or practical purpose in modern society?

If you were in a position to decide, would you seek to implement the death penalty as a part of your justice system, and what would guide your decision?

How do you reconcile the finality of the death penalty with the possibility of rehabilitation or change in a person?

Are there circumstances where you believe the death penalty could be a deterrent to prevent serious crimes, or do you think it has no effect on crime rates?

How might the existence or absence of the death penalty impact the way society views the value of human life?

Can you imagine a crime so heinous that you believe a death penalty would be the rightful punishment, or do you think a different form of justice would be more appropriate?

Should the potential for wrongful convictions affect our stance on the death penalty, and why?

What are your thoughts on taking a life as retribution for a crime, and can it ever be justified in your eyes?

How would you feel if someone close to you was given a death sentence for a crime they may or may not have committed?

No, automatic appeals make it significantly more expensive than a life sentence.

No, life in solitary confinement would be a far better deterrent

Yes, but only with euthanasia that kills instantly.

Yes, but only for cases involving murder

Yes, in limited cases

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.

No, life without parole does the same thing at 1/3 of the costs.

Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anything against animals.

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.

No, it would be less expensive to implement life in prison without parole

I believe it should all depend on the person and situation.

Yes and use it on more criminals to decrease the prison population
