Introduce the death penalty for certain child sex offences

Introduce the death penalty for certain child sex offences — 4,440 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Introduce legislation to reinstate capital punishment and make the death penalty the mandatory sentence for the most serious child sexual offences, with no lesser sentencing options.

Additional details

I believe the most serious crimes against children are so grave that only the death penalty is an appropriate punishment. I want the law changed to ensure the strongest possible justice and protection for children.
