The death penalty has always been a difficult one for me, and something I feel uncomfortable about. I’ve never been fully able to decide my opinion on it, as I can see both sides of the argument.

Certainly in the UK, I get frustrated that a ‘life sentence’ doesn’t generally mean life in many cases. I feel our justice system is a mess at the moment, as the sentences for violent crimes are far too lenient - therefore there is little deterrent, so violent criminals reoffend. I think police officers must sometimes wonder why they make all the effort to investigate and build a case against perpetrators of crime, for courts to then issue suspended sentences, fines, etc. it must be a thankless task for the police who are on the frontline, and subject to the disrespect such sentencing instigates.
