Should We Re-introduce Capital Punishment in Britain?

Capital Punishment is the ultimate punishment- death for a crime such as treason, rape and cold blooded murder. However capital punishment was removed in 1965. Forty years later more rapes are occurring and from very young ages. More deaths are happening each year and mainly the crime rate has been increasing. Should capital punishment be re-introduced?

Capital punishment should be re-introduced for those who are uncontrollable due to the likes of peer pressure. If this were to be so then people/ teenagers would learn to control themselves and not give into peer pressure. However peer pressure is something where everyone has to have been trapped by it. If they make a mistake then why should they be given the death penalty?
