Read the Government’s response

Thank you for your e-petition asking for capital punishment to be available when sentencing paedophiles and child murderers. The Government’s position is as follows.

The Government will not be reintroducing the death penalty, and remains of the view that for the most serious offences such as murder, life imprisonment is a more acceptable response than execution. Murderers rightly spend a very long time in prison – in appropriate cases thirty years or more, and sometimes their whole life.

The Government is fully committed to doing all it can to ensure that children are protected from sex offenders. On 13 June 2007, the Government published the Review of the Protection of Children from Sex Offenders. This contains a number of actions which will help improve the protection of children from sex offenders. These include: piloting a process of disclosure to allow parents to request information on whether an individual has convictions for child sex offences or is considered a risk; strengthening Public Protection Arrangements; developing the use of drug treatment for sex offenders; and piloting the use of compulsory polygraph testing as a risk management tool.

This builds on a number of practical measures the Government has introduced over recent years to protect members of the public from dangerous sex offenders, including introducing public protection sentences aimed specifically at dangerous sexual and violent offenders. These sentences ensure that serious offenders will not be released from prison unless their level of risk to the public is assessed by the parole board as manageable in the community. If the level of risk cannot be assessed as manageable, they will not be released.
