rpHE wave of horror and revulsion that swept through the country on the news of the killing of three'


London policemen was bound to spark again the ’ controversy over the death penalty, as well as the less ' emotional debate over whether policemen should be armed. It will also cause much anguished heart-searching among those to whom capital punishment represents a repugnant and barbaric relic of -primitive vengeance.


•There are, two aspects of the, death penalty-^that

of punishment to fit the crime and that of a deterrent to others. It is as an act of vengeance by society that it is least justified. The "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” retribution of earlier ages lacked all the reforming instincts of those brought up under a Christian creed—indeed by its very nature it removed the possibility of refrirm—and to many Christians any vengeance that entails human sacrifice brings all society down to the level of the beasts who perpetrate the crimes.


But one must also ask: Would the existence of


■the death penalty stay the hand of a killer? And if we are to be given the choice NOT between good and evil but between two evils, which do we choose, and which lives are more valuable—those of men dedicated to a worthy and noble career, or those of depraved or maniacal sub-humans? And if we give to these questions the obvious answers does it mean that an act of vengeance, which admittedly debases society, can still be justified by its restraining influence? Should we not accept it as a necessity, however abhorrent?


The secretary of the National Association of


Probation Officers, Mr. Frank Dawtry, said at the weekend that while sympathising with policemen’s feelings at the moment, he did not think reintroduction of the death penalty for the' murder of a policeman would make much difference.’ While comparative figures were not available fpr this country, the experience of other countries-tended to show that the death. penalty had no deterrent effect. In Americana study undertaken for a sub-committee of the House of Representatives showed that the rate of'police killings was lower in six states which had abolished the death penalty than in the 11 neighbouring states in which it had been retained. ' /


Federation, Mr. Arthur Evans, held the view that police engaged on special inquiries into serious and violent crime should.be armed,,, and, failing that he thought the death penalty must be reintroduced.


On the. other hand, the secretary of the Police Other reasons In Britain the abolitionists finally won the'day, blit

for .many: a lorig'/day arid cut; across all party and religious divisions. Among these was the fallibility of the law and the possibility of an irretrievable miscarriage of justice, such as was- demonstrated by the doubts that arose in the Timothy Evans case, and that of George Riley, executed in 1961 after being convicted entirely, on his, own confession which he afterwards retracted. And in 1956 a conviction against three men for a grave assault on a policeman was quashed, though if the policeman had died they would probably have been executed before their innocence was established. These, and many other considerations, weighed heavily on people’s minds. -. And not only did the abolitionists. successfully1 argue that the death penalty did not affect the crime rate, but they brought powerful evidence to show that -the impulse to kill took no account of the retribution.


. ■ Anomalous Act The recent Act of Parliament is regarded by many V .


(children. T h e s e three vfield are an ample sworth (centre) and


people as being the Act which abolished the death sentence. In the sense that it completed the abolition this is true, but it did this to tidy up the Act pf nine years ago which in many people’s minds had been discredited. This earlier Act a b oli she d capital punishment for all forms’ of murder except the murder of a police officer on duty, for more than one .murder committed on different .occasions, and for murder by shooting or in the course of theft. The Act thus retained the death penalty for killing that, with‘the exception of multiple murder, could largely be described as unpremeditated, but abolished it for what most people regard as . the most brutal kinds—such as the callously planned.poisoning,"perhaps resulting in a slow and agonising death, or the murder of children; And it also brought the anomaly that whether a murderer should hang might depend on whether or not he had stolen, so that theft, not murder, became the dominant factor and in effect it created a death penalty .


for theft. Such an Act clearly had much that was wrong , ' -


with it, and it was right that the anomalies should be ended. What happened was that ALL the remaining


categories were abolished. We ourself at the time, much as we hated the

death penalty, felt that if its retention could be justified for any category it would be for the murder of a policeman on duty—that no matter what crime a man might be guilty of, it should be accepted that once the law came upon the scene the game was up, and that only by murder at this stage would he forfeit his own life; This, surely, would have been the most powerful persuasion to any man, however desperate, to give himself up once he was cornered by the police. We feel that the total abolition of the death penalty was too great a risk to take at one step, and it would have been wiser to retain capital punishment for this one category until the experimental period for_ the other categories had been completed. Now, in view of the early indications, such as the London murders, we believe that for this one category—the murder of police or prison officers on duty—the death sentence should


be restored. We often wonder, however, whether the steep rise .


in violent crime that this country has experienced in recent years is not linked with the-whole . climate y that has been created, such as by the daily, dose of violence on television, which people , have been conditioned to accept without a trace of real emotion. On the normal, healthy person,.such scenes have, little lasting im p a c t ! b u t how many 'of ;the millions


who watch are mentally weak or even; psychopathic, and upon whom they;have a brutalising effect. One, wonders, indeed, if criminals cornered by police dont sometimes imagine themselves as the central figures in


a thrilling “ escape drama.” (M , , - c ^ g a m s s B B s m TV ‘hit or miss’

The film won praise


for the way it captured the atmosphere of hill- farm life, with all its intermingling of difficul­ ties and joys, sheer hard work and quiet content­ ment, and its revelation of the care and devotion the hill farmer gives to his sheep and cattle. One was left with the impres­ sion that in spite of ail the problems of hill­ farming, and the tribula­

that some features of hillside farm life were over-stressed and too much emphasis was placed on poverty. Members of Mr. Gill’s
