The Argument Against Same-Sex Marriage

The notion that for every wrong done there should be penalty to a similar degree is known to people since time immemorial.

To put one to death in the electic chair to show that murder is wrong is contradiction in policy that confuses criminals and undermines any criminal deterence capital punishment was intended to have. The most recent FBI data clearly demonstrates that countries with the death penalty actually have higher murder rates than those without. Moreover, study after study has found that the capital punishment is much more expensive than live in prison as the process of it is far more complex than for any kind of crime.The largest costs come at trial stages when it is decided whether or not sentence defendant to death.
