I am often shocked at how short the sentences are for murderers in the UK. Throughout much of Europe, actually.
But other than putting away the very worst for longer periods of time, I wouldn't recommend that anyone imitate our criminal justice system. At its worst, it's pathetic, and it's far too often at its worst. And the death penalty in particular does not act as a deterrent to violent crime here.
