"For some crimes, the death penalty is the most appropriate sentence"
...is one of the questions from the British Election Study Wave 19 Panel carried out in November 2019. That's November 2019CE, which I feel the need to stress due to the following finding:
Those answering "Strongly Agree" or "Agree"? 50% (n = 23,315)
As in, half. Half of the UK still supports capital punishment.
The breakdown of the answers is available from Mind the Values Gap - The social and economic values of MPs, party members and voters by Bale, Cheung, Cowley, Menon and Wager, pp 17-18. The paper is about a bunch of other things, but that's the non-partisan finding which really leapt out at me.
Isn't knowing more about your fellow citizens a wonderful way to start the week? Happy Monday, everyone!
