The Death Penalty is used for people who commit acts of murder and treason(generally) not as a punishment for lesser crimes. That is why the laws are set up so that the punishment must fit the crime. If you worry about the situation you described, that sounds more like a problem with the justice departments and legislature, in which case, I'd say get the hell out of Britain.
