Death Penalty Capital Punishment - Death Penalty INTRODUCTION It is true that the punishment of the crimes committed everyday should fit the crime, but to what extent' This is a question that has been talked about and debated over since the beginning of time and has recently became the most controversial punishing practice in the world. When discussing this issue, there are many different viewpoints to consider as well as two very strong sides to the argument. ON-GOING DEBATE Pro’s The constantly changing views on this difficult issue led Supreme Court to abolish Capital Punishment in 1972. However it was later upheld in 1977 under certain conditions. Those who are for the death penalty argue that it deters, or works against, crime by giving criminals somewhat of a fear factor to think about and hopefully will effect their decisions in someway. If criminals know that there is no tolerance for their actions and they realize the consequences, whether it be death penalty or life with out parole, they will think twice before taking the risk of being in that position. The pro side also claims that if these criminals are not put to death, there is a chance of them being paroled due to good behavior, allowing death, penalty, punishment, murder, should, people, court, very, crime, capital, been, life, juveniles, washington, under, time, row, out, issue, however, good, executed, age, about, unusual, supreme, side, right, execution, eighteen, cruel, crimes, being, adults, adult, young, world, way, tried, think, states, situation, serious, sentenced, rates, punished, prison, person, part, parole
