| 1339125 | 2013-05-05 04:52:00 | The death penalty should be for murder, manslaughter, rape, desertion, treason, drug users/ drug traffickers and repeat offenders. Dont care if the abolitionists say it has no deterrence effect because they are wrong. Once the person is dead it deters them from offending again. As I said before look to Asia they have some answers to our problems.We have got too soft in the West and need to harden up. This country needs more gun and hunting culture like it had when I was a kid.you must of really liked the 50 shades of grey book. Just not willing to add any of the illegal activity you do too the list. |

| 1339126 | 2013-05-05 04:54:00 | If there was to be a hanging, surely the Police would have greater integrity ! Lurking. I must say I was thinking along the same lines Lurking, but when the Deputy Commissioner Mike Bush only a month or so ago praised a policeman that planted evidence and described him as having "Integrity beyond reproach” sort of torpedoed that possibility. Then there is our resident rapists HERE (www.nzherald.co.nz) I suppose that is OK too Mr Bush? :groan: |

| 1339128 | 2013-05-05 06:32:00 | Poll on yahoo/xtra 73% for death penalty nz.news.yahoo.com Pretty disappointed its that low thought it would be somewhere around 95% plus maybe lots of scum liberals go there. I never met anyone who does not support the death penalty in NZ. |

| 1339129 | 2013-05-05 06:54:00 | Oh there are plenty of bleeding heart liberals out there who believe that forgiveness is the best reformer of criminals. That is, until they are bashed, raped or permanently disfigured themselves or have their own loved ones brutalised or murdered. Even then, they all screech for longer prison sentences in the belief that it will be a deterrent and show the offender the error of his ways. Instead, what you get is an embittered person released eventually back into society with a sworn agenda to get even with the society who locked him away and a greater determination not to get caught again. Will he be more gentle, do you think, the next time he rapes or bashes an old lady (somebody's mum) or be a little more caring as he dispatches his next murder victim? Hah! |

| 1339130 | 2013-05-05 10:18:00 | The purposes of criminal sentencing for a society are as follows: Retribution Deterrence Rehabilitation Incapacitation Denunciation |

| 1339131 | 2013-05-05 10:24:00 | As for capital punishment, I oppose it. There is an real ethical dilemma where the State deliberately kills a person while at the same time upholds laws against killing. Furthermore its arguable that an enlightened society rises above its worst members and does not copy what they do. Aside from that, mistakes happen and dead is dead. |

| 1339132 | 2013-05-05 10:39:00 | The purposes of criminal sentencing for a society are as follows: Retribution Deterrence Rehabilitation Incapacitation Denunciation I can accept that those purposes are the official position on sentencing and one or two of them may actually work in some cases. However, my issue is that prison sentences always entail an enormous cost to the taxpayer (victim(s) included) and provide absolutely no guarantee that the offender will not re-offend upon release. In fact so many crimes of violence seem to be committed by recidivist offenders either while on bail or following release from prison that one wonders what benefit the taxpayer derived from the prison sentence in the first place. If the cost of incarceration were given as compensation to the victim or the victim's family and the offender sent off to find free accommodation in the next life, I would suggest that the only one of the purposes above that would not be served would be rehabilitation and that would no longer be necessary. |

I have quite a few dealings with White South Africans here one story a guy told me was a guy was breaking into the company truck when the boss shot him dead from his office window. Just rung the police who threw the body in the back of a van and no more was said about it. |
