Hi this is Dipak.
Our today's topic is "Does capital punishment deter crime?".
Friends it depends on the situation and what type of criminal is before.
If it is a terrorist or a rapist or any heinous criminal then definitely capital punishment is the best option.
But if it is a murderer then lifetime imprisonment will be the better option Although murder is a big and serious crime the murderer should realise his crime and should be given time to reform.

According to my opinion, capital punishment should not be banned. Because people don't fear punishment and they do again and again. The major cause is increasing the murders, rapes etc. So, the capital punishment is mandatory for criminals.

I think capital punishment in India should not be banned because crime is at its peak and criminal has no fear about what they have done. At least, the criminal who has done murder, etc they should must be granted death.

Hello!
Today our topic is whether capital punishment should be legal or not.
I definitely side with capital punishment as a legal method of punishing someone who has committed a crime.
First off - a very common point said by the majority of us is if there is no serious punishment, (like capital punishment) for a heinous crime people will definitely take the law for GRANTED.
The "oh! Let's just murder this person and get going with life " kinda attitude will soon form and murder or rape will not be considered a serious crime in the near future.
Second - I feel life imprisonment is kind of an okayish punishment, because why are we wasting our money on feeding a criminal, a person who actually should be dead?

Hi, This is Gurappa.
Today's topic : Capital punishment should be avoided.
In my point of view, we should give preference to life imprisonment instead of capital punishment.
We should give a chance to all criminals to change their behaviour and mind thinking. If capital punishment gives to criminals. Then there will be no chance to change their behaviour and human no right to kill anyone.
As we all know, no one is born a criminal. They become criminals due to some circumstances.
So at last, I would like to say that capital punishment should be avoided.

Hello everyone.
My name is Prince Kumar.
Today I would like to talk about the capital punishment should be banned or not. Capital punishment is known as the death penalty in which our judiciary system legally kills a human who commits a serious or heinous crime, murder, rape, and terrorism.

Capital punishment or death penalty is being imposed by state as a punishment for the criminals of heinous offences.
Use of death penalty was dropped in 140 countries. 7 countries retained it for the crimes committed in exceptional circumstances. 21 countries including India, are still using death penalty as a punishment.
The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution 'UN moratorium on the death penalty' in 2007. India voted against it. There are a lot of ethical dilemmas involved in capital punishment. In most of the cases, death penalty can be avoided. Life imprisonment is the best alternative for the capital punishment. By imposing life imprisonment, we can reform the person. Even if he is not reformed, life imprisonment can act as a severe punishment and also as a deterrent. However the criminals, who do heinous crimes and are incapable of being reformed must be given death penalty, because they don't deserve to live, not even in prison.

Hello everyone my name is Balram.
Today, I would like to talk about the topic capital punishment should be banned or not. Capital punishment is known as the death penalty in which our judiciary system legally kill a human who commits a serious or heinous crime like murder, rape, terrorism. So, According to my opinion capital punishment should not be banned because the crime rates are increasing day by day in our society, and it creates a fear in the mind of criminals. Due to capital punishment countries like China, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia has a lower rate of crime. If we abolish capital punishment then it's increasing crime rates in our country and. People feel unsafe and insecure. Because every year many innocent people were killed by criminals so they have not right to kill someone without any reason because life is precious and no one can snatch it. Thanks.

What is capital we know all that capital punishment knows as the death penalty. Capital punishment is a punishment in which a person has committed a serious crime such as murder/rape.
1. Capital punishment should not be banned. Because it will increase the crime rate in India. If capital punishment is abolished then crime rates will be increased.
2. We all know that two-thirds of countries of the world have abolished this punishment. But it is present in some countries like South Korea, Taiwan, China. By this punishment here the rate of crime is very low.
3. Punishment is a fear of criminals. We know that there are punishments and fines for every crime. But capital punishment consoles the victim and victim's family.
