The death penalty



Each crime has a punishment. Sentences are different from each other depending on the types of crime committed by accused. The worst punishment is the death penalty. The death penalty applied in sixty- eight countries a round the world. Some people have a lot of opposition with the death penalty at the present time as they prefer life imprisonment to death, but in my opinion, I believe in capital punishment for many reasons.

Capital punishment is the killing of a person for criminal or political reasons and the death penalty carried out the death orders of the ruling or order often to get rid of accused person. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences. The Death Penalty is moral and just. Judicial death for the purpose of maintaining justice or righteousness is well established in human history. Some crimes any lesser punishment is inadequate as a matter of basic justice. In addition, murderer deserves death penalty because he has trespassed against the whole society by killing one of its members. The execution of murderer makes the killed parents more satisfied. That mean the death penalty prevents the revenge upon the people dead. For example, if someone killed one, the court should implement the death sentence for the killer before the parents kill him or her. Also, this punishment reduces and prevents occurrence of murder and the revenge because the killer would think that the penalty will accrue if he killed some one intentionally. Besides, an executed death sentence absolutely guarantees the killer will never kill again, a life sentence does not.

There are many cases of people killed by murderers who were paroled, escaped, killed within prison, or who arranged murders from within the prison. Furthermore, some religions allowed this punishment. Nowhere does the Bible repudiate capital punishment for premeditated murder; not only is the death penalty for deliberate killing of a fellow human being permitted, but it is approved and encouraged, and for any government that attaches at least as much value to the life of an innocent victim as to a deliberate murderer, it is ethically imperative. For example, in my religion, Islam there are many crimes for which the death penalty is justified like in lieu of an unjust and proven murder, life for life and apostasy from Islam after willingly accepting it….etc.

The capital punishment solves many problems in the society. In some cases, the rule of an unjust death sentence is unfair to some wrongly accused, but I think it is fair and equitable in all cases because this punishment will reduces and prevents the crimes in the society. I believe that an effective, enforced death penalty deters some murder.
