1-  Should the death penalty exist as a punishment for murder or terrorism?

The biggest crime in the world is terrorism, In my opinion the law should have very Strict law for the terrorism. For example; Execution and life imprisonment with corporal punishment.

2-  Should the main purpose of prison be punishment or rehabilitation?

I think prison should be rehabilitation for who did a small crime and punishment for the major crimes. prison should be school to teaches the prisoner who to start a new life when they go out. Benson (2003) "Prisoners were encouraged to develop occupational skills and to resolve psychological problems--such as substance abuse or aggression--that might interfere with their reintegration into society."

3-  What is the best way to deal with juvenile crime such as

•         Joy-riding?

•         Vandalism? Prison and a fine

Political activists are offenders of the laws, but if their goals in the sabotage of the country should be sentenced to death.

And must be tougher punishment, such as the withdrawal of driving license and car for a long time and deprivation of driving and fine. In 2011 280 people died because drinking and Driving (Thank 2011).

Of course social security fraud is more dangerous, because there is no tax in my country.

 I do not think is a good idea that you allow the police to stop anyone without a warrant because it is possible that the police used this thing for personal purposes.

8-  Should the law respect the rights of homeless people to squat in unoccupied property or shop doorways?

 Of course yes because they are the responsibility of the country and the government should provide them with food and housing
