Capital_Punishment

Capital Punishment The sentence of capital punishment is an expensive barbaric alternative for punishing a criminal. Murder is unaccepted by society, yet people seem to justify themselves by killing criminals. Is that not considered to be murder' Sentencing a criminal to death does not solve the questions and problems that are left behind. Mourning families will still carry a never-ending heartache, and the criminal no longer has to pay for the consequences of their actions. The only people left to pay are taxpayers. According to The International Debate Education Association , “Capital punishment costs more than life without parole.” Studies in the US show that capital cases, from arrest to execution, cost between one million and seven million dollars because of a never-ending succession of appeals. A case resulting in imprisonment costs around $500,000. Does an offender even think about the final outcome of their sentence before they commit a crime' Do aggressive criminals stop to think of their own fate while they choose the fate of somebody else' Before execution was legalized, many states felt that having the death penalty would lower violent crime rates.
