Blog 7: Killing Joke

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/4723804/Murderers-given-life-sentences-spending-just-eight-years-in-jail.html


Shocking figures have shown that murderers given life sentence serves on average 8 years in jail. MP’s find the 275 killers released in 2010 and 2011 unacceptable. Tory MP Philip Davies have discovered these figures and states: “They lay bare how soft our justice system has become.
“Most people think a life sentence should mean life but many murderers serve less than ten years. He also states that these murders that have been released have gone on to kill again. He added: “Any serious offenders who are released on licence are subject to strict conditions and are liable to be returned to custody if they do not comply.”

Own Opinion:
People doing a crime, like murder and sexual abuse, should be punish. Taking a life means taking your own life as well. People have the right to life and people wanting to take another’s life should give up his own life  by sitting in a sell and never get to see daylight for the rest of his life or given capital punishment. If serving a life sentence and being released after 10 years, is not punishment. Thus I think the justice system should be more strict about the punishment the offender needs to get. Prisons also needs to help with this system, because this may prevent killers walking around in the future and it reduces crime rates. 

1 opmerking:

  1. This is unacceptable in my opinion as well. If your punishment is eight years, you should sit eight years. If your sentence is a lifetime in prison, you should be in prison for the rest of your life. The victim’s family have lost their loved one forever, thus murders should give their life as well.
