Death penalty

Is the Death Penalty a Justified Punishment? Since 1976 only 1,392 people have been executed after being sentenced to the death penalty (Statistic Brain). Many of the people convicted and executed were serial killers and people who had committed treason. The death penalty is a justified punishment for sane people who deliberately kill and execute people in cold blood. As well as the people who sanely betray their country. As for the wrongly convicted, only 151 people, it seems that they might…

The death penalty is legalized and still used in 58 countries around the world but, should it be legal ? The death penalty does not deter murders : It continues them. It’s not only barbaric and cruel, it’s inhumane. States should not have to power to kill, not in my name. The death penalty is a very controversial topic even after being around for a long long time.To some it’s a great solution, but to others, the death penalty is nothing less than an uncivilized barbaric act. I personally agree…

give us the right to kill?

sentenced to the death penalty is an extreme execution served by the government and must surpass plenty of levels for this punishment to be accomplished properly.

According to the DPIC (Death penalty information center), the average amount spent on a single death penalty case in Texas is about 2.3million, which is almost three times the amount spent on an inmate put in the highest maximum security for forty years. For crimes that require or call for the death penalty, I support life in prison without parole instead of the death penalty because it is too expensive; cost a lot more than an inmate spending life in prison, does not reduce or deter crime rate,…

Reinstitute the Death Penalty! Imagine a world where no matter what the crime anyone commits they get to live. You could kill a hundred young children and yet have the glory of living. This has been the reality in Canada since 1976, ever since the death penalty was abolished. Canada needs to reinstitute the death penalty for criminals who commit vast treacherous capital crimes. The first reason why Canada should have a death penalty is because it is a deterrent for crimes. People are not…

In his article Ta-Nehisi Coates mainly appeals to logical and emotional appeals. Coates does have ethical appeals in his article, but not as much compared to logical and emotional appeals.

However, there is evidence that the attitudes about the death penalty is changing. The debate has…
