Capital_Punishment

Capital Punishment In all ancient societies some form of the death penalty was used as a form of punishment for crimes. Now, it’s one of the biggest issues in courts. Capital Punishment should be used to help tax payers and keep criminals from killing again. Society has always used punishment to discourage would-be criminals from unlawful action. Since society has the highest interest in preventing murder, it should use the strongest punishment available to deter murder, and that is the death penalty. If murderers are sentenced to death and executed, potential murderers will think twice before killing for fear of losing their own life. For years, criminologists analyzed murder rates to see if they fluctuated with the likelihood of convicted murderers being executed, but the results were inconclusive. Then in 1973 Isaac Ehrlich employed a new kind of analysis which produced results showing that for every inmate who was executed, 7 lives were spared because others were deterred from committing murder. Similar results have been produced by disciples of Ehrlich in follow-up studies. People in support of capital punishment say that if it were carried out as it was intended then it would prove to stop crime as it was intended, but instead death, penalty, people, life, punishment, thousand, murder, jail, capital, because, years, innocent, convicted, taxpayers, prisoners, person, execution, executed, criminals, cost, appeals, time, sentenced, sentence, row, murderers, feel, crime, twenty, think, support, prison, out, million, hundred, five, family, construction, before, been, 2001, two, tax, system, state, since, should, results, rates, prisons
