Recommended: Effectiveness of the death penalty as a form of punishment

Is Capital Punishment the correct sentence for a murderer? I will be

discussing in my essay whether Capital Punishment should stay

abolished or be reintroduced after 38 years since the punishment was

banned.

Capital punishment is a form of taking someone's life in order to

repay for the crime that they have committed. There are many different

methods of doing this, for example a few of them are such things as

The Electric Chair, Hanging, Stretching, Stoning.

Since 1965 people have been saying that Capital Punishment should be

reintroduced. I will be stating most of the reasons these people give

in the next few paragraphs. One of these reasons is the fact that

prisons are getting overcrowded in England. There are over two

thousand convicted persons serving life sentences in our prisons

today, therefore if we were to reintroduce Capital Punishment we could

resolve these problems by sentencing the people who would at present

be sent to prison for life to the death penalty as a punishment for

doing wrong.

Another common point that is made is that with so many people in our

prisons it actually costs us money due to taxing. And as I said before

prisons are overcrowded plus every person serving a life sentence

costs £400-£1000 each per week depending on the amount of security

that they need and this is coming out of money that we work hard for.

So without all those criminals we would be living better lives due to

the fact that we would have more money.

In addition to that the public would feel a lot safer as well as the

Police Force because the criminals would no longer be around to take

our money or kill us for not doing anything wrong. At the moment we

are very unsafe because even the Police can't handle them and we know

this due to the fact that each year approximately 15,000 Police

Officers are assaulted and over 40 Police Officers have been killed

since they abolished Capital Punishment does that say something to

  • The Death Penalty Should Not Exist in Today's Society

    944 Words  | 2 Pages

    A man is standing there with a noose around his neck. When there is a signal, the rope is cut, and the man’s body is dropped through the trap door. He is hanged like that in front of a crowd, which is even including old people and small kids. Is there anybody thinks about how would a child react if he had to witness such a horrible scene? An execution takes one’s life to warn the community with the hope that the crime rates would go down. But it is extremely cruel, and it makes people feel like they are living in the ancient world when there are no human rights. Now the world is evolving in the way of civilizing, so execution should be kicked out of this society because instead of bringing benefits to the community, the execution brings a lot of more destruction.

  • Why Is Child Poverty?

    Working families often cannot pay their rent, or sometimes food. According to an article in The Bill Moyers & Company “Three Steps We Can Take to Solve Poverty, From Someone Who Knows Firsthand” by Tianna Turner, U.S. government should give good tax breaks for companies that provide secure jobs, encourage them to have paid sick and family leave, and invest in affordable and high-quality child care. (Turner) It is true that companies that have tax breaks can utilize tax money to raise the surplus for living wages. Moreover, employees who have paid sick and family leave are more likely perform better in their work because they do not have to worry about the lost hours that result in lost pay. Childcare has always been neglected in the U.S. for a very long time. Many research show that kids in high-quality preschools have better graduation rate from high school, and they tend earn more as adults. If the U.S. childcare system is fix, the parents will have more time to focus on their job, and the overall quality of U.S. citizen will change

    The death penalty is legal in thirty-two states. I shall argue that capital punishment should be abolished in our country because it is never moral to kill a human being no matter what they have done, because it often costs more money to keep someone on death row than to keep someone in prison for life, because of the men and women who are wrongly accused of a crime they did not commit, and because death is the easy way out.

  • Death Penalty Thesis

    800 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Death Penalty should be discontinued to the families, human rights, and statistics.     The families of the victim and the family of the one, who committed the crime, have no closure at all. The death penalty is killing a human for being convicted of a terrible crime one family may think its right but both suffer by their lost ones. “Although true closure is never really possible for the families, studies have shown that the continual process, along with the returning to court for many years, force families to confront the gruesome details of the crime many times over, making it impossible to get on with their lives. As difficult as that is the question is weather the victims needs are met effectively by killing someone else and causing another family grief and pain as well as adding to the cycle of violence.”  (Progress) As both families do not want to see each other because they all have pain and hate for one another. They both relive the last memories of their loved one and they can’t help but cry and stare at the pictures they were once happy in. The families both have sadness when its their loved ones birthday. If the victim is married or have kids, their kids suffer and the husband/wife suffer as well. Although the families will never get there loved one back they still suffer on what had happen. Both families blame one another for having to take flowers, to their dead family member or visit their family member in a cemetery because of what happen. None of them is truly happy that they lost a family member. The families miss the person who seemed so happy, and also know that they are in a better place watching over them. Although the families aren’t happy about losing them, but are relieved to know that nothing else can hurt them. As one family feels sorry for the other family, there could be the family that doesn’t care what happens but wants everyone to suffer the way they are suffering about the tragic death of one family member.

  • The Death Penalty Should Be Allowed

    1601 Words  | 4 Pages

    The heaviest punishment towards convicts is death penalty in law. It means to atone for an offense is dead. Of course, it will not execute for every criminal. Death penalty is only for felons. For example, a people who murdered someone would not get the death penalty. The death penalty is for murders who related to the smuggling of aliens or committed during a drug-related drive-by shooting. Sometimes, however, the felons also can avoid the death because some countries (or actually states) don’t allow death penalty. Then, what decision would the convict get? It is a life sentence, which means the prisoner should be in a prison until he or she dies. However, it is not good idea to keep felons. Death penalty should be allowed and get more active because life sentence is costly, unsafe, and insincere for a victim and the family.

    Capital punishment is the punishment of death for a crime given by the state. It is used for a variety of crimes such as murder, drug trafficking and treason. Many countries also have the death penalty for sexual crimes such as rape, incest and adultery. The lethal injection, the electric chair, hanging and stoning are all methods of execution used throughout the world. Capital punishment has been around since ancient times; it was used in ancient Rome, and one of the most famous people to be crucified was Jesus Christ. Capital punishment is now illegal in many countries, like the United Kingdom, France and Germany, but it is also legal in many other countries such as China and the USA. There is a large debate on whether or not capital punishment should be illegal all over the world as everyone has a different opinion on it. In this essay, I will state arguments for and against the death penalty, as well as my own opinion: capital punishment should be illegal everywhere.
