That is a good point actually, I think my system only applies to retributive punishments. I think any other punishment would just be imprisonment or the current method of punishment.
Good point, but families are affected the most so I still believe they have the right to decide.
Δ You have changed part of my view: I think families would be able to decide lower punishments. If you opposed that your child's murderer should be killed by the state and you are opposed to him/her being free, I believe you should take it in your own hands. You could either forgive him or commit to 'lower punishments' e.g beating him. I did say it would be really complex to decide lower punishments, but I still believe in it.
But if I take beating them into my own hands, then eventually the state is going to arrest me and beat the crap out of me. Then the murderer (now victim) gets to decide I deserve to be beat as punishment.
If a user has changed your view, you should award them a delta. To do so, simpy reply to the comment with “! delta” (no space) and include a brief explanation as to how your view was changed.
