Essay about the death penalty

Answer:

The Death Penalty should not be abolished. The death penalty has been successful for thousands of years. It is effective because it deters criminals from committing serious crimes, it is quick, painless and cost effective, it also appeases the victims’ families.

A jail term will not be a deterrent for those who have committed serious crimes. Mu*derers, kidn*ppers, ra*ists, or dr*g lords should know that if found guilty, they would be given the death penalty. This should make them think twice before committing brutal acts of crime. Some countries and states that have abolished the death penalty were forced to revert back to the lethal punishment when they couldn’t keep the rising crime rates under control. States like Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Arizona, California, Utah and Washington still send hardcore criminals to die, by gas inhalation, lethal injection or hanging. Criminals know that committing serious crimes can lead to the death penalty. If they still dare commit such crimes, then they should be held responsible and made to face the law. When the innocent become victims of horrendous crimes, it’s only fair that the criminals are not let off the hook.

Furthermore, It is true that even with the threat of the death penalty, violent crimes are committed with exemption. Dr*g traffickers and pushers operate freely; and the threat of gang fights, r*pe, m*rder, armed robbery and kidn*pping under the influence of drugs as well as dr*g-related disputes are ever present. But what more of the country abolishes the death penalty?

H*ll will break loose, and more criminals will dare to commit serious crimes. There will also be a free flow of dr*gs that will destroy social order. The opinion that even the death penalty has not deterred criminals from committing serious crimes cannot be an excuse to get rid of said law.

Next, the thought to abolish the death penalty has to be carefully studied. The death penalty is still needed when a country is littered with crimes that can create fear in criminals, as well as hope in citizens. Humanitarians, practicing lawyers, and others who push for abolishing capital punishment should not be so concerned about about the lives of m*rderers, r*pists, kiddn*ppers, and dr*g traffickers, and ignore the countless numbers of violent deaths of victims who were innocent caused by these criminals. Without the death penalty it could give criminals the wrong idea, such as disgusting and disturbing crimes not being taken seriously with punishment. The repeal of the death penalty treats all murders as the same. Once a person commits a single act of murder, each additional murder is a freebie.

On the other hand, some would say the death penalty is r*cist, inhumane, and outright wrong. But, crime has nothing to do with race, gender, sexulaity, etc. If you’re a bad person commiting crimes, that's just who they are. The death Penalty stops criminals from committing serious crimes. In no way should a person take or torture an innocent life, and not have any repercussion for what they did.

In conclusion, abolishing the death penalty will only send the wrong signal to those who have the tendency to commit horrible crimes. Sparing the lives of hardcore criminals for humanitarian reasons will only cause more misery for others. It will see a rise of serious crimes in our society, further impairing the nation.
