In this week's News Shopper Thursday Issue discussion we ask whether punishment should literally fit the crime. Have your say and add your comments below.

The Thursday Issue is very simple. Each week we put a controversial question or suggestion to you, and ask if you agree or disagree with it.

Here is this week's:

The justice system should be toughened up, with sentences fitting the crimes – so thieves should lose a hand, rapists should be castrated and murderers should be put to death in the same method as their victims.

Now it's over to you. Debate whether you think limb-taking punishments and death penalties should be brought in. Join the debate and tell us what you think below.

Check News Shopper's website every lunchtime for a new daily opinion column. Friday will be a sport rant. Monday is the Shopper Rant on a topical news story. Tuesday is entertainment day and Wednesday's rant is written by a reader. Be sure to have your say if you agree or disagree with what you read.
