The thread about the 11-year-old murderers has pushed me to post two polls on the age limit for the death penalty. This one deals with the DP for non-murder crimes that could qualify for it. Alex

I am thinking about severe felonies like rape, robbery, heavy bodily harm, gang criminality, traficking of hard drugs... Crimes that do not end up in the death of people but do destroy the lives of others for ever or for a long time could as well qualify for the DP. All above, I think of repeated more serious crimes, but not things like shoplifting or driving too fast. There could be three-strikes-laws with the mandatory DP for those who have been sentenced three times for a serious felony. Alex

Crimes like those I believe should have the offenders sentenced to life in prison. In the case of rape, castrate them.

Life in jail is in my point of view non-sense. I am in favour of camps to better people while the prisoners work so that the costs for society are as low as possible. The aim of injailing ought to be to make people learn to stop doing evil. The jails of our days are mostly failing this aim. If this truly fails and somebody does not want to respect the right of others to live without fear of being heavily hurt or murdered, then he or she ought to be put to death. Life in jail furthermore means a waste of money on those who do not want to respect the basic rules of living together.
Even without age limit, the putting to death of children will be quite rare if criminals get into bettering camps and only murderers get death sentences at once.

Well I voted 18. Rapists and drug smugglers are (like murderers) the scum of the earth
