For Death Penalty



For death Penalty

Most countries have abolished the death penalty. But I am going for Death Penalty. Why? because for example, if your best friend/parents/siblings got murdered. What will you do? You would want them dead right? Lets say if the Amnesty abolish the death penalty, What will happen? You can't do anything right?


If the death penalty is abolished , crime rate will rise. Unless the enforcement rate goes up, then it will be fine, but we can't 100% say it will go up will it?


AND ALSO


Its better to just kill the person then just keep them in a prison cell. It's so much cheaper. There is also a high chance that the prisoner might escape from prison and that leads to chaos. Facts and evidence supporting the abolishment of the death penalty are often exaggerated. A consequence for committing the crimes are necessary


For eg, Guantanamo Bay.

They torture you, but they wouldn't let you die.

Lets say the death penalty is abolish, would you want to suffer before death?





Reasons:

1) death penalty gives closure to the victim's families who have suffered so much- SOme family members of crime victims may take years or decades to recover from the shock and loss of a loved one. One thing that helps hasten this recovery is to achieve some kind of closure. Life if prison just means the criminal is still around to haunt the victim. A death sentence brings finality to a horrible chapter in the lives of these family members.

2) it creates another form of crime deterrent - crime would run rampant as never before if there wasn't some way to deter people from committing acts. Prison time is an effective deterrent, but with some people, more is needed.

3) justice is better served- punishment should fit the crime. When someone plans to murder another person, doesn't it make sense that the punishment for the perpetrator also be death?

4) it contributes to the problem of overpopulation in the prison system- too many prisoners(causing overcrowding). Not enough resources, not enough space. When you eliminate the death penalty as an option, it means that prisoner must be housed for life.

  1. I know for a fact you have done this in a rush - not because I know you so well, but because of the way you have written your work. For a great work to be great, you need to show passion and consideration - but that's just what I see it, but I'm one of your readers so take into consideration! :D

    But i could see your passion for not abolishing death penalty with examples, pictures and trying to make the readers feel the hurt with saying about your best friend or friends.
