According to me, capital punishment should not be banned because it is not a dealing death with prisoners. It's not true that every prisoner is murderer, the judiciary will not take a decision fast every human being have one chance to improve their mistake so help them to change.

Capital Punishment should not be banned.

It supports a strong framework when it comes to striking fear in the minds of criminals. While it is important that this punishment is given for serious crimes like Espionage i.e. spying on the country, hijacking of airplane resulting to death of civilians and treason. It should also be given to criminals who have commited gruesome crimes like sodomony, rape of women, children and young boys.

Crimes like manslaughter, mass-murder, acts of terrorism, acts because of xenophobia towards a group of people, race or religion, people who conspire against our country and anyone who threatens the nation, like trying to take over the government.

But capital punishment is also awarded for crimes like murder during kidnapping, decoity with murder, where if more than five individuals participate in the act and one of them commits murder then all are liable for the crime and it is punsihable by death or even in kidnapping.

These are the offense where one can raise the question whether the liable should be punished by death?

I believe that even with these crimes, it depends on the degree at which the crime has been commited and how to what extent the accomplace was involved in them.

So, capital punsihment is important for the right crime, therefore it should not be banned.

Capital punishment should not be banned. You must have heard "Sparing the guilty means punishing the innocent". If Capital Punishment is banned people will get more chance to harm society.

Well, according to me.

I would say that capital punishment should not be banned because the rate of crime would be increased and people would feel unsafe in our country. The people would be free to do all that crime which are unacceptable by someone and one important thing is that someone would have to suffer just because of that person who leads with a crime.

So, Capital Punishment should not be banned.

Capital punishment should not be banned. If capital punishment is banned then our country should be fearless of terrorism they have done there a lot of crime work like rape, murder such that type of thing should be happening in our country. It is happening much more than previous crime so that capital punishment should not be banned.

Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.

- Industrialist Henry Ford.

Capital punishment should be banned, because nobody has the right to place judge whether another person lives or not. Right to life is one of the fundamental rights of humanity. You might think that terrorists deserve to be killed because they take lives. But remember what Mahatma Gandhi said, "If the whole world follows the principle of 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', then everyone on this planet will become toothless.

And blind.

As for those arguments that capital punishment generates fear in criminals and reduces crime rate, they're completely based on conjecture by people who haven't done any research in this topic. There is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than a prison term. In fact, evidence reveals the opposite. Since abolishing the death penalty in 1976, Canada's murder rate has steadily declined and as of 2016 was at its lowest since 1966. Capital punishment could be the underlying cause for increased rate of crime in India.

Second issue with capital punishment is that you cannot take it back. The death penalty is irreversible. Absolute judgments may lead to people paying for crimes they did not commit. For example, an individual from Texas, USA Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in 2004 for allegedly setting a fire that killed his three daughters. Following his execution, further evidence revealed that Willingham did not set the fire that caused their deaths. But it was merely an accident.

In 2017 two countries " Guinea and Mongolia " abolished the death penalty for ALL crimes.

Today, 106 countries (the majority of the world's states) have turned their backs on the death penalty for good. Those that continue to execute are a tiny minority standing against a wave of opposition.

There are countless arguments for and against the death penalty. In an imperfect world where we can never be sure we have ever got the "worst of the worst" is it ever justified to take a life?

I would like to chip in by saying that it should be abolished because as I live in India which is full of corruption and corrupted people they take undue advantage of their power and blame the innocent one. So capital punishment is like the easiest way to get rid off of stigma, especially for tycoon people. On the other hand, if I talk about rapist capital punishment is not enough maybe that why they have no fare and rape cases are increasing drastically.

Hello everyone,

Myself Ajay kumar. Today my topic is capital punishment should be banned or not.

In my point of view, it should not be banned because if we banned capital punishment then after doing crime like rape, murder or many big crimes which is too harsh for us will be increases rapidly and we cannot able to reduce it, and if it is not stoped then our country is known for crimes or terrorism which is not good for Indian culture. I think, it should not be banned and by this we can able to reduce big crimes, rape and murder also. By seeing this type of punishment peoples think about 10 times before doing these types of crimes.

Thank you all.

I think capital punishment should not be banned and those who do this heinous crime should deserve capital punishment. If we want to protect the citizens from these crimes engulfing in the society we have to take a step and give severe punishment or even death penalty for rape and murder. There must be some fear in the minds of the criminals which can be there if the system gives severe punishment for the crimes they do.
