Death

Death The DEATH Penalty Capital Punishment is an Unlawful and Ineffective Deterrent to Murder. The United States is one of the few countries left in the world to practice the savage and immoral punishment of death. Retentionists argue that the consequence of death prevents people from committing the crime of murder. It is proven that the death penalty does not deter persons from committing murder, nor does it serve as an example of the consequences of capital crimes to society. Furthermore, it is impossible to guarantee that the criminal justice system will not discriminate against or execute the innocent. Above all, the methods of execution are horrifying and barbaric, as well as the devaluing of a human life. We must realize that the life of a murderer is worth as much as the life of the victim. An indecent justice, one that takes human lives based on ideals of vengeance and violence, is an immoral system that is unacceptable. The most widely used argument in support of capital punishment is that the consequence of execution influences criminal behavior more effectively than imprisonment does (“Against the Death Penalty”). Although the argument may sound reasonable, in reality the death penalty fails as a deterrent. death, penalty, punishment, capital, murder, execution, ncadp, one, life, human, criminal, must, crimes, justice, cases, system, jewett, executed, crime, convicted, been, lethal, against, society, people, evidence, states, public, prisoner, person, murderers, killing, kill, innocent, cannot
