Death Penalty Cruel And Unusual Punishment Research Paper

Some people say the death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment, but if you consider the things people insist on doing, it would be beneficial to society. Take Jeffrey Dahmer as an example, he used manslaughter and cannibalism, which should be punishable by death. Killing a person and eating them is not what society would call normal or justifiable by law. Nevertheless if a person only committed a small crime and were not sued or prosecuted harshly, then they should only be given a fine or a sentence based on their wrongdoings. Moreover in Romeo and Juliet's situation, having young love, even if it's by the enemy, shouldn't be punishable by death. People can fall in love by accident, and by punishing them you are not solving problems, but
instead creating them. Death can be the same way. By punishing someone to death, you can actually create more problems than there were in the first place. Only extreme crimes, unlike love, should be punishable by death.
