There is a very thoughtful post today in the Adam Smith blog. Like the writer I have been, and and in my case probably remain, deeply opposed on principle to the notion of capital punishment. However the arguments he puts forward, coming from a [similarly] libertarian perspecttive, are difficult to dismiss entirely. Perhaps there does need to be a change in the way we punish the worst crimes.
