What is ethics?
- Ethics is a branch of philosophy concerned with morality i.e what is right and wrong

- Religion, peace and conflict = Nuclear and weapons
- Religion, crime and punishment = Capital and corporal punishment

Capital punishment
-
- It can only be used by a state, so when non-state organisations speak of having 'executed' a person they have actually committed a murder.
- It is usually only used as a punishment for particularly serious types of murder, but in some countries treason, types of fraud, adultery and rape are capital crimes.
- There is now steadily increasing support for abolishing capital punishment
Victim support
- Victim Support is an independent charity in England and Wales that provides specialist practical and emotional support to victims and witnesses of crime
- They work towards a world where people are affected by crime or traumatic events, get the support they need and the respect they deserve. They help people feel safer and find the strength to move beyond crime. Their support is free, confidential and tailored to your needs
