According to my point of view, it carries no doubt that CP should be allowed. It's not like that criminal who are committing heinous crimes should b given another chance those insensitive criminals who didn't even bring a thought of those innocent people who died of no cause. In my concept, all these criminals should be awarded death sentence so that it can set an example and push all the criminals into deterrent zone.

Hi,

I think it should be allowed because if it should allowed then no one do the same crime again.

I don't support Capital Punishment. I am aware I am just a thirteen-year-old but listen.

As a kid, I grew up thinking fairy tales were real. I believed in happy endings, I still do. You could all predict the shock in me when I came face to face with reality. There was a time when I was watching television and I came upon a channel that displayed medieval times. They were about to hang people.

I was horrified. It just made me feel so disgusted to even watch it happening. I sooner found out that the man they hung killed somebody.

They hung the man for murder.

But please explain to me, what right do we have to take one's life? Just because he killed someone doesn't give us a good excuse to kill him. Actually, there will NEVER be a good excuse to kill someone.

What does it make us? Killing these criminals? Is it okay just because they too have sinned?

If it is, then doesn't that make us no better than them?

Before you do it, think. Think about the example you are setting. Think, will there really be a difference?

If you killed this criminal, then you are a killer. What this criminal did or signed for doesn't matter. If you killed this criminal. You killed this criminal. You killed someone. You took a human life.

If you didn't, if you gave this criminal a chance to change for the better, then thank you. If you chose not to kill this criminal, there would be at least half a chance he would stay the same. But think about the other half, that he could do better. Think about the example you have set.

To be honest, whatever his crime may be, it should have an equal punishment. You know the statement, 'An eye for an eye'?

That's still not the answer. Did you know, 'An eye for an eye makes the world blind'?

CP isn't the equal punishment of any crime. It is a crime itself.

It's better to switch a light of hope in others than burn fear into them.

Cp should be as people will not be transformed until they learn a lesson. So this can be very helpful in reducing the crime this is the severest punishment that can be given to a criminal for indulging in a heinous crime. It entails death to the convict either by hanging or any different way.

I am against capital punishment. Yes, it should be banned. How better are we from the ones who commit such crimes. Ironically it's like we murder someone who has murdered someone else just to show that murder is an offense. Learning from the past, how helpful had it been in reducing crime? Did imposing capital punishment reduce murder, rape or terrorist attack cases in our nation or collectively the world? No. Then why are we even practicing such laws which yield no result yet at a cost of one's life? As also, can saving funds of a nation and not wasting money on criminals be a just explanation to take a life? We as humans have no right to take a human life. There might be many other options to replace capital punishment with. We must look upon them and get over with avenging a life as it neither does any good to the family of the victim nor sets any example to reduce further crimes.

In this case, if you give the second chance to the terrorist or criminal then there is no doubt that they will get another chance but what about those people who were suffered from this above crime. I support capital punishment because if we give one chance to a person means we support the crimes and criminals, yes it is true that crimes increasing day by day but can you think that why it increase?because for our silence. We should be aware of this.

For my opinion, capital punishment should not be banned because in my point of view C.P is necessary for each and everyone how is doing the small or big crime. If we give CP to criminals once and next time other criminals will think thousand of time before going on the wrong track. I think C.P is very necessary because without C.P criminals will be fearless as we can see the best example m our country, there are few cases we listen to give C.P of culprits. So they think they will go in cell and again out and start doing the same thing they did before like crime. I know that some religious behavior might Chang their mind because sometimes innocent get killed instead of crisps.

Thanks.

According to me, definitely Capital Punishment should be allowed. Because I think this can be a strong step which we can take to eradicate this dirt from our society. Capital Punishment saves fund and environment from being exploited and gives a hope to the victim's family. The culprit who doesn't fear death does not deserve a second chance. They are totally unsound and also I would say totally brainwashed!

For this, we can take up some other solutions but the easiest I think is death i.e. Capital Punishment. Criminals commit crime because they know that they won't be killed and that they spend a short time in prison. Terrorists should be hanged to death in front of the public, not in jails in early mornings, they will get sympathy and publicity for free of cost. Capital punishment is a right way to reduce the terrorism as well as a crime if the government take the decision for imprisonment to terrorist and murders We all know that criminals commit a crime only when their mind is unsound and are anxious and not in a right state of mind. They do know it's wrong. But they can't control their emotions. If there is Capital Punishment Certainly they will have a fear of death. It is a fear factor which makes make them think twice before the decisions. It is like saying people can do crimes, harm others for their benefits, takes rest in jail, and comes later few years out from prison and do things again. Not giving them the punishment they deserve will encourage others to be a criminal. The government will have to spend billions of rupees for their The jails in India will be populated. Rights of our country if we give them severe punishment then they will free after some years and they try to take the revenge which leads to rape and murder and also a terrorist who get caught in our country. If our country doesn't give them capital punishment then they will think easy. Capital punishment must be given on the basis of the crime of the person, not on the basis of the age of the person i.e.it must be like what we do we do for other we get it back in the same way. Capital punishment means death penalty which could not be banned for terrorists because of its matter of nation.

At last, I will say that if capital punishment will give to terrorist then terrorist will think thousand times before committing any terrorist activities.

Hello friends,

I am strongly in favour of capital punishment because the criminals who do the crimes don't have the right to live on this earth, before commiting such crimes they don't even think about the effects.

The probability of the occurrence of the crime would reduce due to the severity of the punishment.
