Capital punishment is the execution of an
offender sentenced to death after conviction by a court of law of a criminal
offense. Death penalty should be distinguished from extrajudicial executions
carried out without due process of law.
The theories of death penalty function are
retribution and prevention. In current society, people need to get a heavy
crime for them to get a death penalty.
The punishment is a "damage" which lies in the middle of moral and
juridical reaction to the wrong committed with the crime and it is known as a
moral chastisement, not as revenge. Every death row inmate have damage one or several
people’s human right no matter to direct or indirect. They need proportionate
punishment to crimes. These issues are about “retribution”. “Death penalty is
very cruel, and it can deter crimes” this argument is
logically, and statistically well-based fact for capital punishment. According
to capital punishment has deterred crimes and makes people to avoid crime,
there shows death penalty has a preventive function against organized
criminality.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteInteresting blog, i agree with you, capital punishment is really harsh but it's necessary when a serious crime has been committed, such as murder where a life has been taken unnaturally. I also get what you mean by mentioning moral rights, it doesn't seem right for anyone to have the 'power' to take a life.
Goodluck! Loved reading through this :--)
