Can Murderers Be Rehabilitated? The UK Death Penalty Debate

The question of whether murderers can be rehabilitated has long divided public opinion. In the UK, where the death penalty was abolished for all crimes in 1998 (with the last execution taking place in 1964), the debate occasionally resurfaces, often triggered by high-profile and shocking crimes. Some campaigners argue for its reinstatement, believing it would deter crime and deliver justice for victims’ families. Others insist that no one, not even the state, has the moral right to take a life.
