Capital Punishment is a form of a sentence that was practiced in Australia and countries around the world.

In ``2015 1634 people worldwide were executed`` ("Death penalty 2015: Facts and figures", 2017). Capital punishment is a process of killing someone as a result of committing a horrific crime. Capital punishment is an act which is not of assistance to the society and therefore, it should be abolished. Capital punishment is morally wrong because it is taking away the life of a human being and disobeying what God would have wanted for civilization. Also, humanity would not look any better by killing people, no matter who they are and essentially not showing dignity to a human being`s life. The purpose of this assignment was to collect evidence and by looking at the evidence, we can support the claim that the death penalty should be abolished in all countries as it adds no benefits to stopping or helping reduce crime or protecting society.

Getting arrested is not only embarrassing, it can be damaging as well; damaging to your career, relationships and your overall lifestyle. If you are arrested, the moment those handcuffs goes snap around your wrists, the instant you begin to think, “How am I going to get myself out of this mess?” If you are one of the thousands of people who gets arrested on a daily basis, your best bet for freedom is to hire a bails bond man or agent and post bail immediately.

The United States of America has the image of being the safest place in the world and people think the same but the real picture is different. Crime has become one of the worrying issues of the country and immediate steps have to be taken to limit it. In the recent times, LAPD officers have done some good work. Penelope Rodriguez, a 14 year girl was rescued within 2 hours after she was kidnapped by LAPD officers. Since few weeks in the Crenshaw Boulevard the police are patrolling frequently and are taking care of the area. If the police act in the same way by doing some good work, there are chances that the crime rate will go done quickly. Media have to feel responsible and should expose the hidden crime and should also make aware of the situation

“Americans have always had ambivalent feelings about crime and punishment” (71). Many say our American System of Justice is broken, for they believe the system is looking to just punish those who have done wrong and is not looking to rehabilitate them, especially for juveniles. Then there are some who say, the American System of Justice does not need to change for it already punishes criminals with due process, and rehabilitates them. The American System of Justice should change the way they punish criminals, because those who are incarcerated for nonviolent crimes are taking up space in our prison system, juveniles are being put in solitary confinement and coming out more damaged than they were, and lastly some offenders are serving to long for the crime they committed.

The confusion on how many people support the death penalty is crazy. Wanting someone to die because they hurt a loved is not effective in solving the root of the problem, sadness. Punishment by death creates the false idea that someone's death will benefit another. Time and money would be better spent offering professional services to families of victims. “Families of murder victims undergo severe trauma and loss which no one should minimize. However, executions do not help these people heal nor do they end their pain; the extended process prior to executions prolongs the agony of the family. Families of murder victims would benefit far more if the funds now being used for the costly process of executions were diverted to counseling and other assistance”. Families of Murder victims go through a lot of physical and emotional harm and loss, which no one should ever go through. The extended process before an execution increases the extreme pain of families."Whatever your feelings are toward the death penalty, one thing most people will never know is the pain experienced when a family member, or in my case, family members are brutally tortured and murdered.

“On the afternoon of July 23, 2007, in the town of Cheshire, Connecticut, two men broke into the home of Dr. William Petit, his wife Jennifer and their two daughters. The men beat Dr. Petit nearly to death with a baseball bat; one of the men raped the doctor’s wife; and the other man sexually assaulted their 11 year-old daughter, Michaela. The two men then strangled Mrs. Petit to death, tied down the two daughters on beds, doused them with gasoline, and, while the girls were still alive, set the house on fire. Dr. Petit survived, but his wife and daughters did not.”

Capital punishment is reserved for the most severe and horrendous crimes. Since 1976, 1,463 people have died by death penalty in the United States. Lethal injection is the most common method in the U.S. since it replaced the electric chair in 1995. For the past few years, there has been a large debate over whether or not capital punishment should continue to be used. Capital punishment should not be used in the American legal system to deter criminals from committing crimes because of the botched executions, risk of executing the innocent, and the support is falling.

Every country worldwide wants to eliminate all crimes in their society, but it is impossible to do so whether it takes harsh methods like capital punishment. Even Albert Camus, a French philosopher, once said, “For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists” (“Death Penalty Sayings and Quotes”). Capital Punishment, also known as the death penalty, is the execution of an offender who is sentenced to death after being convicted of a crime by the court. In ancient Greece under Draco’s Law, capital punishment was widely employed for murder, treason, arson, and rape. It reflected upon the ancient principle of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life” which appeared in the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi (R. Hood). As centuries went by, methods of punishment for the death penalty have developed over time, catering its usage to fit the criminal system of the current society. Some forms of punishment existent today include electrocution, gassing, hanging, firing squad, and the most common, lethal injection. Although the death penalty has been used over several centuries, the issue had been raising a lot of controversy within many governments and their citizens who are currently debating whether it is the right decision for the criminal system. Capital punishment should be abolished worldwide as a form of punishment. Countries with the death penalty have been wrongfully executed

When you think back to your childhood and what you wanted to be as a child, most people recall having several options or being able to make up their minds. I, however, was not one of those children. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be an attorney. When I think of the word attorney or lawyer I think immediately of a courtroom. I picture a large room, full of people waiting for a nail-biting verdict. I picture a judge, high above those around him, making the room silent with a single look. I see a jury of ordinary people, peers to those in question of breaking the laws set up to keep the peace between everyone in this world around us; coming together as one united force to help make a difference in their society.

majority of the main criminals are still on the loose and in many instances when they are being questioned and asked why they did it. There answer is usually based of them saying it was easy and that the government’s security is terrible and can easily be cracked. That's why it happens its low risk high reward.

The passing punishment is the most extreme of discipline. There is no harsher discipline than punishment of death. Truly, no discipline is more terrifying and more harsh than passing of this itself. As of now fifty-eight countries hone the passing punishment. Our country, the United States of America, is one of the fifty-eight countries that hone the passing punishment. As of now, the United States will as it were utilize the passing of this punishment on the off chance that one commits first-degree murder. People that accept in the passing of this punishment think that capital punishment will hinder killers. In this paper, I will be contending that it does not discourage criminals and that the United States ought to prohibit the practice itself.

Imagine walking down a dim lighted hall, knowing that it is the last walk of your life, the last time hearing the echo of your heavy breathing and footsteps, being escorted in to a room in which you will have to lay in a bed and wait to be asked to say your last words. Think about how cruel you are about to have your last minute of life in the hands of someone else and hoping that no mistakes occur in the process. Capital Punishment is a modern day view of “an eye for an eye” and is a form of punishment for offenders who committed treason, espionage, and murders. It is cruel and an unusual for America to have it enacted. The Death Penalty needs to be repealed because it is unconstitutional, irrevocable mistakes occur and costs a whole lot more than having the offender sentenced in jail for life.

Is the taking of an individual’s life a just punishment for the most heinous of crimes? Is it humane to kill another person to administer justice? How should society deal with the most dangerous members of our population? The answers to these critical questions are not easily derived. Capital punishment is a widely debated and sensitive subject, as it probes the judicial system and morality. Most individuals would argue that criminals who commit the most despicable of crimes deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. While this deduction is perfectly reasonable, capital punishment should not be the end to this mean. Executing prisoners for their crimes has several flaws: it does not deter crime more than life without parole, it is financially more burdensome than sentencing a person to life imprisonment, and is an inhumane and anachronistic method of attempting to serve justice.

Sitting in the cell, surrounded by guards, and knowing that this was it, Phillip walks to his demise. He flashes back to his family, and how much he regrets his only crime of drug possession. While he was cruising to work, he got pulled over for a broken taillight, and the encounter ended with the cop finding a block of cocaine in the trunk. Phillip intended to sell it for some extra cash, as his factory job wasn’t paying enough to support him and his family in their small apartment. As Phillip got laid out on the table to be injected with chemicals to end his life, he started to shake and whimper as he witnessed the machine flow chemicals into his bloodstream, and dies with seeing disappointed faces staring at him. Stories of criminals that commit petty crimes who are given the death sentence are not unheard of in the American Justice System, and will keep happening if the death penalty is kept in place. Therefore, capital punishment should be banned in America.

While capital punishment may be unjust for criminals, it is also an injustice done to unsuspecting citizens. Taxpayers are stuck paying for this entire process, from a criminal’s first court case to their execution. This is especially bad for American citizens because even though it might not seem like it, the death penalty is more costly than life in prison. For example, in an article titled “Californians asked to end death penalty - to save money,” cases involving capital punishment are proven to cost more than ones that do not. This is partially due to the fact that there are few public defenders equipped to handle death penalty cases. It also has to do with the number of appeals to higher courts inmates are forced go through. Both of these contribute to a mess of petitions and appeals that can span a decade, sometimes more. These can get costly, especially when compared to life in prison. In the same article, it was estimated that cases involving capital punishment can cost taxpayers $3 million in lifetime costs. This is about $1.9 million more than any other court case. This is just one example of an unnecessary cost that could be avoided if prisoners were given life in prison without parole. Supporters of the death penalty will also argue that the cost of executing someone is cheaper than keeping them alive. While the drugs themselves may be cheap, the cost of keeping someone on death row is not. The specific costs are not tracked by state officials, but studies
