Supports death penalty & equal prosecution of minors
Principles Peroutka supports regarding crime.
Support the use of the death penalty for federal crimes.
Reduce prison sentences for those who commit non-violent crimes.
Minors accused of a violent crime should be prosecuted as adults.
Peroutka says, "Crime, in most cases, is to be dealt with by state and local governments. When truly federal, I support restitution, not incarceration, and when appropriate, the death penalty."
