Maybe so. But I still maintain that corporal punishment by death penalty for
murder is a HUGE deterrant, no matter what age one is. However, perhaps we
should bring back the Cat-o'-nine tails instead, as a milder punishment?

I am still not 100% sure about Capital Punishment as I worry about an
innocent person getting it by mistake or miscarraige of justice. Apart
from that, I would say 'string them up', but it's a huge 'if' and
therefore not worth the risk of killing an innocent person. So I am
still on the fence, but leaning more towards the Life Without Parole
side of it.

The US system were prison sentences are massive and if you kill,
chances are you die an old man in the click would also be worth a try
as well. Decent law obeying people in Ireland have been reduced to
little more that potential targets these days.

The days of enlightened liberalism have failed when it comes to
protecting society from crime. They are great for other things, but no
good for crime. We need an extreme right wing approach to law and
order.

I do not believe the death penalty has any effect whatsoever in the
same way that the health effects of smoking are not sufficient to
deter smokers. People stop smoking when the law is enforced and when
it becomes clearly socially unacceptable to smoke in certain
situations.
The laws are there to protect people already; they need to be
enforced. You are absolutely right about the situation having
reached outrageous proportions. It is not just working class kids.
Kids from all backgrounds can turn into horrible monsters, immune from
the law. Middle class kids though have more to distract themselves
with (horses, crochet, fencing, polo, rare orchid breeding) and more
to lose if they go wild.
