David Fraser, who worked for the UK Probation Service for 26 years, says the service is perverted by foolish ideology that upholds the right of criminals over those of victims. Each week, someone is raped or murdered by an offender supposedly under supervision. Mr Fraser maintains ”that if criminals are in prison, they cannot commit crimes.’
But crimes are committed daily by inmates. Prison populations in the UK and the USA are growing. Informed opinion favours building more prisons. No one seems overly concerned about construction and manning costs, let alone the pain to taxpayers who would foot the bills whilst continuing to suffer at the hands of criminals.
Few people have the stomach to bite the bullet and accept the one solution which is most vehemently denied. Capital punishment is the only sensible means to combat the plague of lawlessness.
It is my considered opinion that any person who consciously decides to commit a capital crime and in the due process of law is found guilty by a jury, should be given one of two options by the courts; 1) spend the rest of their natural life in prison without parole, or 2) be released from custody on the understanding that if they re-offend they will forfeit all rights of appeal and be put to death.
I further believe that the unacceptable rise in serious crimes by all age groups, particularly by children and young people, is a conscious display of contempt for societies that fail to lay down strict parameters for their behaviour and for their own safety. Who can respect any authority that refuses to enforce lawful discipline for the benefit of all members of society?
We are at war with terrorists. Why do we tolerate terror in classrooms? Why do we deny rapists and murderers the end they desire?
