Re: Reprieve gets worried about British attitudes to death penalty Archived Message Posted by Diderot44 on March 2, 2020, 3:33 pm, in reply to "Reprieve gets worried about British attitudes to death penalty" I totally agree with you. Sadly the majority of the British public have always been pro capital punishment, with past polls over the last 40 years, staying consistantly in the 70-75% range. Ironically, support for the death penalty in the US, continues to wane with only 40% of the population now in favour. Many states have recently abolished the death penalty, following several high-profile miscarriages of judgement, including Illinois, Washington, New Hampshire, Maryland, Connecticut and Delaware. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/dpic-reports/dpic-year-end-reports/the-death-penalty-in-2019-year-end-report Message Thread: Reprieve gets worried about British attitudes to death penalty - Tomski March 2, 2020, 2:57 pm Re: Reprieve gets worried about British attitudes to death penalty - Diderot44 March 2, 2020, 3:33 pm Re: Reprieve gets worried about British attitudes to death penalty - Raskolnikov March 2, 2020, 4:58 pm Re: Reprieve gets worried about British attitudes to death penalty - Mary March 2, 2020, 4:50 pm Re: Reprieve gets worried about British attitudes to death penalty - Tomski March 2, 2020, 8:09 pm The small print - walter March 2, 2020, 8:46 pm   Searching
