I will make this post pretty straight forward: please take a look below at the following questions and results taken from the latest YouGov Select survey and which you'll agree, speaks absolute volumes.
Please feel free to comment!
(YouGov polls are rated one of the most, if not the most accurate against all other professional research and consulting organisations:)
"On yesterday's survey, more than half (65%) of the respondents strongly agree that the perpetrator should spend the rest of his/ her life in prison when given life sentence.
Moreover, respondents are generally more sympathetic with the vulnerable victims and believe that those victims who suffered from sexual abuse and killed their perpetrators should not face mandatory life sentence."
