Are We Ready?

The resurgence of capital punishment needs to be taken extremely seriously; taking life can not be taken lightly.

Is New Zealand ready for capital punishment again? Yes, I believe we are, and the general consensus is that the nation is also ready and wanting harsher penalties for criminals.

  1. Hi,
    Interesting topic and point of view. But I have to ask, do you think it is ok for the government to have that power? Is it ok for the government to have the power to kill it’s own citizens? Maybe it is dangerous for the government to have that much power.
    What is your opinion on this?

  2. I think my conclusion would still be harsher punishments, but not death. I don't think it's right for anyone to decide when someone elses life should be ended. I think most of NZ would be opposed to the death penalty.
