Capital Punishment should be Banned or Allowed?

Shooting should be prevented also, tranquilizing the problem felt better.

Capital Punishment should be banned. It is inhuman & it is cruelty, kindly stop capital punishment.

Capital punishment is in human. It is a law of jungle. If man calls him civilised, why should we follow the law of jungle? There are other punishments good enough to meet the end of justice. Why not content a life sentence? In fact, it will be more effective because life sentence is example for others. No doubt, a strong case can be made for life imprisonment which gives a man a chance to repent himself. Only one life may ostensibly be taken by capital punishment but economically, socially, psychologically, and morally the lives of entire family are seriously effected. By the way, what has capital punishment done for us so far by way of eliminating murder? A person should be given chance to repent his deeds. No doubt, it causes some extra expense but it better results.

So, Ladies and Gentlemen capital punishment should be abolished.

Death penalty or capital punishment means a punishment that ends one life forever and Life is the gift of God. No one, not even the state has the right to take away one's life. According to most of the critique, the death penalty is unsuited for a civilized society as morally it does not make us better if we kill those who kill? It hypocritical. It is a barbaric way to who believe in the principle of "eye for an eye tooth for a tooth limb for a limb and life for a life". Sir James Stephen draftsman of IPC mentioned that no other punishment deters man so effectively as the punishment death but in the general Assembly of US stated that there is no credible evidence that death penalty deters crime more. In places where the death penalty has been abolished, statics do not show any rise in a homicide, on the contrary, it shows a reduction in the number of homicide than the country where it has been retained as in Canada 40%drop in the murder rate.

The death penalty also violates The article 21 of the Constitution ie right to life which is the most basic of all human Right, however, the same article provides that it must not be opposite to the procedure established by law which is off course Rarest of the Rarest cases. Punishment according to the majority jurists should not be destructive to the offender. They agree that it is not the severity but the certainty of the punishment that deters. If the offender can escape or think or belief that he can remain undetected or untouched he may plan the murder. Sometimes even in the case of Predetermined and cold blooded murders of the most brutal types, the true offenders remain undetected or if arrested then for want of sufficient and relevant evidence given the benefit of doubt and acquitted. When so many people go free and roam free, what deterrent even in the case of cold blooded murders can the death penalty bring about Hardly any. So even if the death sentence is abolished there is no danger.

Human beings are ought to make mistakes so as our judges if Judge makes mistake in the course of deciding judicial proceedings than that mistake can not be remedied after execution. The Supreme Court has itself admitted on several occasions that there are confusion and contradiction in the application of the death penalty. Last year 14 eminent retired judges wrote to the President, pointing out that the Supreme Court had erroneously given the death penalty to 15 people since 1996, of whom two were hanged. The judges called this "the gravest known miscarriage of justice in the history of crime and punishment in independent India". The opponent of capital punishment also said that death penalty mainly sentences to the person who belongs from economically and a social backwards section of the society. Studies conducted by Amnesty International and the People's Union for Civil Liberties have shown that the process of deciding who should be on death row is arbitrary and biased. Therefore, there is no need for a punishment of such and so it should be banned.

It should not be banned. Because nowadays women should be more alert after the case of Jisha, Soumya. And Govindhachhammi and Ameerool, they are not to be escaped. They must get the punishment at maximum. Then only these men study a lesson. So that we need it.

Captial punishment should be there for those who deserve it. For every crime we have some punishment as well as fine but are these punishments or fines enough for a terrorist who take our thousands of people lives away and leave their families in unbearable pain. Should government spent too much money in their maintenance, or for rapists who destroy women's life or for killers who kills a person only for money.

Every year we hear about many cases but most of them are frequently taking place. Why? because ignorance of law is making them fearless. They commit crime easily and get free and ready for another one.

Only one step we need to take here is a firm punishment or it may be CP, I will go for CP.

Hey, I am Aashi.

I think capital punishment is given to those who committed a big crime.

In my opinion I think capital punishment should not be banned.

We can take the example of countries such as Pakistan and Iraq, every 5th day a terrorist attack takes place. Because of abolition of CP.

Yes, Of course, it would be banned because today we see so many crimes such as "Crime against women" development and so many other crimes the development of our country will be slow.

Hello friends,

Although we are not here to decide that the person should live in the society or not or we can say, we are not "GOD". But if we see the epic "The Ramayana" Ram killed Ravan because he kidnapped his wife and misbehaved with her and also he mistreated the people. The Epic shows that Victory of Good over evil which leads that we will get JUSTICE some day. We thought that law will take strict actions against the wrongdoings. I support Capital punishment is allowed in our country because if we give a chance to the criminals it will lead to increasing crimes than before. But it is also true that this will not be justified if we gave the punishment without any pain to them who are doing these heinous crimes. Therefore, Stringent laws should be made and these criminals should be first tortured day by day so that they will repent their evil deeds. And afterward, they should be hanged. As in the case of Acid attacks or Rapes, the victim has to suffer the whole life and to survive with that pain and the humiliation they face lifetime. Rich Criminals released very easily and others are only having rest in the Jail.

If we see the highest rape crimes countries involving Canada, Sweden, Germany, South Africa where the capital punishment has been abolished. Still, the rate of crimes is very high there. Therefore, Abolition of Capital Punishment may not help to eradicate the crimes in our country.

Our Government also spend lots of amount in surviving the criminals. This will affect our economy as well. As these funds can be used to reduce poverty and develop the underdeveloped section of our society.
