Some people might agree with the death penalty. Families get devastated when someone they love and care about has died. Its different when that person they care so much about has been murdered or killed. People tend to hate that person and have the urge to do just about anything to them in order for them to suffer, which causes us to take, revenge on them. This matter has lead to the death penalty. This is a punishment that slowly kills the man or woman that has committed the crime. Why should we have pity on those who choose to kill? If they felt powerful enough to kill, then we should be able to do the same to them. Whatever their reason is that they choose to kill they should be punished someway, somehow.…
The death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death as a punishment for a crime. The death penalties are usually carried out for retribution of a heinous murder committed, such as aggravated murder, felony killing or contract killing. Every state handles what method they want to use to put a person to death according to their state laws. The death penalty is given by lethal injection, electrocution; gas chamber firing squad and hanging are some of the ways that certain states may carry out their death penalty procedures. I will present some views and personal opinion dealing with the pros and cons of the death penalty. The death penalty is such a life altering subject that affects all parties’ lives that are involved in the death penalty process. I personally have mixed feeling about the death penalty. I don’t know really if I would be a person that would support the death penalty or not. I do feel that murdering someone is wrong, and since no one really close to me has never been murdered. I don’t know if my feeling would change as being a supporter for the death penalty or not. I can only pray that God will help this county to make the right choices when comes to life or death.…
Although arguments from both sides have merit, my opinion is to support capital punishment. It is my belief that the death penalty saves many lives by not giving these people who commit heinous crimes a chance to do it again. Also, the death penalty invokes fear in people who might consider committing certain crimes. The relapse rate of people who commit heinous crimes and are released on parole is astounding. Many of these offenders are back in prison either from a repeat offense or a parole violation within a few years. If these offenders are given life in prison it is using up millions of dollars in taxpayers money to house and feed them. If the government could make the death row process shorter and limit appeals, it would reduce the amount…
There are many differences in the way people view the death penalty. Some are against it and some agree with it. There have been many studies trying to prove or disprove a point regarding the death penalty. Some have regarded the death penalty as a hindrance, and some have regarded it as state sanctioned murder and not civilized. The death penalty has been linked to societies for hundreds of years. More recently, as we become more civilized, the death penalty has been questioned on if it is the correct way to so enforce justice on the people. The death penalty is a highly controversial subject. No one knows who’s right or who’s wrong-it’s fifty percent speculation and fifty percent research. It’s just a lot of thoughts and beliefs from people who have contributed to the death penalty controversy. Who’s right and who’s wrong? That is the question.…

The death penalty is something that has many countries in the world divided. In my opinion, I believe that the death penalty should be legal throughout the country. There are many reasons as to why the death penalty should be legalized in the country including retribution, deterrence, and morality. Also, because opposing arguments do not hold up, I will discredit the ideas that the death penalty is not constitutional, irreversible mistakes are made, and that race and income will face disproportionality.…

Some people are against the killing of others for any reasons. Other people feel that certain crimes should be punished by death. The death penalty is a very controversial topic in the United States today and has been for a number of years, because people's life is at risk. The reviewing the numbers of facts prove that the death penalty should not be enforced. I think death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights. It violates the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is the ultimate cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment. It should be abolished in this country it's racial discrimination, the financial cost and barbarity.…
The death penalty in the United States of America is a topic that many people could have both negative and positive reactions toward. Everyday there is a murder being made, whether it's a small type of crime or a large type of crime. Someone gets killed and justice is either served or not, depending if the murderer is caught. Some say we live in a freedom type where we are free to do whatever we want. However, that is not the case. There are laws in the United States that citizens of must follow and comprehend in order to not receive punishment. That type of punishment can vary based on the type of crime which had took place.…
The death penalty is set for those who decide to do illegal crimes, like bringing or selling illegal drugs. But the death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment which many innocent people die for. Many people are against the death penalty because there’s mostly about racial discrimination, it punishes the poor, and can put innocent lives at risk.…
The death penalty is illegal in some countries and allowed in other countries in fact 72 death sentences were given out in the U.S. In the court death penalty is a sentence given to the suspect if the crime is decided to be fatal to society. In summary death penalty should be allowed because people will be treated not to do it, exterminates criminals and it will teach another citizen not to commit crimes.…
The death penalty is an unfair to any human being because the crimes people commit are bad but the government do not have the right to kill or put a person in jail to wait for their death is just not right. Even when someone commit a crime, they go through all the investigations and interrogations to find the wrong person and put them on death row. I believe the government enjoys inflicting the death penalty.There goes another innocent life taken away from their family. According to ACLU, over 140 innocent people have been released from death row in 26 states only because they found more files of evidence just to prove they were innocent. Just imagine if those people were never found guilty, they would be in jail for several years all the way up until their death, does that seem okay?. Over the years, 607 executions have been recorded worldwide and 22 countries has took place including the execution. The Death Penalty being the most lethal sentence for a crime and over several hundred had been sentenced to death. Even though the government believes cruel and unusual punishment is okay, but they…
The death penalty in the United States should be abolished. The death penalty has no evidence that it deters crime. Texas has the highest death penalty count in North America, and also the highest homicide rate in America. (Millett) If anything the death penalty makes crime worst. The south has the highest death penalty count in the United States and the highest homicide rate, which is 600,000. The North east has the smallest amount of states with the death penalty, and their homicide rate (380,000) is also the smallest. (Death Penalty Information Center 3-4) Right now in the United States thirty-five states use the death penalty, and 15 states don’t. Many U.S citizens think the death penalty is…
A great man by the name of Blaise Pascal once said, “Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.” Meaning that if the government is just going to have rules but not enforce them, there is no point, and if there is punishment with no justness behind it, there is going to be a harsh world. A just society requires the death penalty for the taking of a life. With that being said, my stand is to legalize the death penalty in attempt to decrease and or prevent heinous crimes, to decrease the costs of housing inmates with long sentences, and execution also provides a sense of closure for the families of victims of violent crimes. Don’t you think these depraved people need to be punished somehow?…
