Topic : For or Against Capital Punishment

Death penalty as the Capital punishment for terrible crime of murder has many years constitute a controversial topic. Can we summit death sentence for someone who committed crime? For many people, we can use that way to discourage murders and establish justice. Nevertheless, other people condemn capital punishment by saying that no one has the right to kill, we have the obligation to protect human's life. Tree ways of punishing murders are based on esthetical, political, and social issue. For esthetical issue, some people condemn death penalty by leading it to an immoral act. According to (Warren Richy in Christian Science Monitor page 3) We have the obligation to protect the precious life that God gave us. Religious in the same direction do not agree that we should establish justice by killing the criminals. ( From Vatican, 8 December 2001), Pope John Paul II said that Jesus Christ whose life was persecuted didn't accept to "meet hate with hate, violence with violence. Another reason to abolish death sentence result to unfair judgment. Many studies conducted have shown that most prisoners convicted do not really committed crime. The punishment manumitted to offenders sometimes does not reflect a proportional fault committed. Researches conducted state that we should abolish capital punishment for political reasons. Many critics lead the intensification of haine for some ethnic group for death penalty. Furthermore, Social issue is one of the points that condemn Capital punishment. From many studies, it appears that death penalty has not decreased crime rate: instead, the number of murders increases everyday. The solution of those problems could not come from building larger jails or killing massively criminals. It can be suitable to find the real cause of crime, why murders commit crimes, how do they get guns?
