3 We Must Not Return To The Noose

The document discusses capital punishment and reinstating the death penalty in Canada. It presents an article by Roy Cook arguing against bringing back capital punishment. Cook opens with a quote emphasizing the irreversible nature of execution. The most powerful reason against capital punishment given is that innocent people could be wrongly executed. Cook also claims many groups are working to reinstate the death penalty, though some may question his numbers, and suggests alternative punishments and reforms to the justice system to lower murder rates instead of capital punishment. The debate keeps recurring due to people's desire for revenge against murderers.
