Capital Punishement

Capital Punishment What is Capital punishment? Capital punishment is the utimate punishment, being put to death. It has been used in ancient times as well as the present to punish those who commit crimes deemed justifiable by putting the offender to death. Over the course of human existence we as a society have struggled with whether capital punishment is right or wrong.

Capital punishment is documented as far back as the Eighteenth Century B.C, King Hammurabi of Babylon had made the death penalty punishment for 25 different crimes.

The more we educate society and make them aware, the less crime and loss we have to endure. Is the capital punishment
