Capital_Punishment

Capital Punishment CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Records of the early use of capital punishment, "legal infliction of the death penalty, " are dated all the way back to 1750 BC. Research has shown that during the colonial days of the United States, the death penalty was strongly supported and often made a public display. Many later saw this as inhumane and soon led to changing views on capital punishment. These changes later led the Supreme Court to abolish capital punishment in 1972, but later the courts reinstated it with certain conditions. Now in the United States, there are thirty-eight states that incorporate the use of the death penalty. Support of the death penalty from society is strong and studies prove that capital punishment is essential for the lowering of the crime rate and for preventing the recurrence of crime. Under a new law, "three strikes and you are out," in New York, criminals that commit three serious offenses are then jailed with no chance of parole.
