Summary #1: Author William Tucker uses his 2000 American Spectator article to explain why the death penalty is actually a deterrent to criminals. Tucker analyzes the statistics of crime over the years and concludes that when death penalty rates are up, murder rates are down, and when execution rates decrease, the rate of homicides rises (par. 13). While many criminologists believe that the death penalty doesn’t affect the amount of murders that take place in America, Tucker counters by saying,…

injection. Many believe that for each person that is executed, a number of people are saved. The Supreme Court decided the death penalty needed to be imposed for retribution and deterrence. The opponents argued that retribution is unjustified and deterrence’s efficacy is not supported by fact but by belief and opinion. Some abolitionists believe that the death penalty encourages crime. Even some of the studies by abolitionist have concluded that murder rates tend to increase after an…

The death penalty is the ultimate price to pay. Literally. Not only that, but it is the height of hypocrisy. How can one be proclaimed a killer and then be killed themselves? Is it a fair and just ending, or a waste of time, money and people? We stand in affirmation of the resolved: that the death penalty ought to be eliminated as a form of punishment administered to criminals. Racial prejudice unfairly plays a role when people are sentenced, the cost for death penalty cases is staggering, and…

Death Penalty Pro/Con From 1976 to 2016, 2,405 people have been put on death row. Of that number only 1,264 people have been executed via Capital Punishment, or commonly known as “the death penalty.” Capital Punishment is a very controversial topic in America. It has prevented criminals from committing future crimes. Unfortunately, Capital Punishment is a very expensive and some would say inhumane solution to a complex situation. The first official Death penalty enforced in America was in…

man, Hester, or the baby? Where i stand on this topic is fairly controversial because i don't 100% agree with either side of the possible arguments. In todays world, i think that the death penalty is appropriate for extreme cases. But if i were to be a Puritan during this event, I would wish the death penalty upon Hester and the mystery man. As of right now, the father of the baby is hiding in the shadow while Hester Prynne is paying the price of…

use of the Death Penalty has always been disputable in the United States. Race plays a role in who lives and who dies when it comes to the death penalty. The death penalty is given to a person when crimes such as treason, terrorism, espionage, federal murder, large-scale drug trafficking, and attempting to kill a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases. Some states offer an alternative penalty while others only offer the death penalty. Some may argue that the death penalty is ungodly,…

The death penalty has its pros and cons, to take another life or to not. There are thirty-four states that use the death penalty and sixteen states who don’t. Texas is the the top state that practices the death penalty. I support the use the death penalty, not just for “eye for an eye”, (Death penalty procon). I believe in the use of the death penalty only in severe cases. Serial killers, rapist and child molesters I believe cannot function in society, nor will they ever be productive…

Bright’s arguments against capital punishment include: states that sentence people to death, capital punishment does not serve a purpose, and civilized societies do not engage in such activities. Beginning with states that sentence people to death, it is based on things like mistaken eyewitness identifications, false confessions, failure of turnover evidence, and more (CITATION). This happens in many cases but some people are sentenced to death instead of life imprisonment with parole. However,…

Biblical Truth about America's Death Penalty, Dale Recinella, everyone is deserving of death. The criminal laws that were given to man by God were made to work with a community for both victims and offenders, leading us to ask if certain crimes are worthy of death. The written law and the Mosaic law leaves no stone unturned about death as a political power which is still influential on modern day crimes and governments. The Old Testament does not forbid the death penalty but uses capital…
