Capital Punishment should be Banned or Allowed?

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.

I believe capital punishment should not be banned. And here is the reason why I am saying this.

1. A terrorist or some psychopath kills hundreds of people. And victim who dies is definitely someone's father, mother, brother or son and someone must be waiting for them at home. If the criminal lives then the family members of the victim will never be at peace.

2. Not giving them the punishment they deserve will encourage others to be a criminal.

3. Government will have to spend billions of rupees for their safety just like in the case of kasab.

4. The jails in India will be populated.

Capital punishment is not the solution in terms of crimes like robbery and small crimes but in terms of rape and murder there should be a death penalty and the criminal should be hanged.

Like in the case of Saudi Arabia the rapist is punished on the road for hie crime. A rapist thinks thousand times before committing a rape.

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, I think Capital Punishment should be allowed as when a person commits a crime (in the case if CP was banned) he or she would think it's not much of a big deal to commit a crime and even he/she goes to jail would try ways to escape/bribe/offer bail. Even when we take a terrorist or a criminal who has gone beyond his/her limits by committing a serious crime, (if C.P was banned) we put him/her for life imprisonment giving them severe punishment. Then this instead of removing the thought of doing crime it would increase the anger of the criminal and force him/her to kill the one who is giving severe punishments.

Capital punishment should be banned because nowadays the people have money can easily escape from the crimes. In front of money there is no rapist, no criminals and no crimes, then why should we support capital punishment? sometimes the non-criminal persons became the part. Now so many countries abolished or banned capital punishment and introduce new laws and new punishments for different crimes.

Capital punishment should be banned, am not supporting the criminals. The criminals who is doing cruel crimes should be punished cruelly, very cruelly.

Most of the criminals are not afraid of punishments, because there is no problem for food, proper shelter, and safe too. Today the world and laws nothing in front of money.

So many of them doing crimes for money and for others.

Capital punishment should not be banned as the prison may think that even though he is caught and is given lifetime imprisonment he can fill his stomach sitting in the jail. But can any type of imprisonment repair the irreparable loss of loosing a life of a person? At least capital punishment creates a fear among the criminals that they may have pay their own life for taking someone else life.

Hi every one,

Capital punishment or death penalty is imposed by state as punishment for the criminals. If the criminals are allowed in the society again, the security of citizens will be at stake.

Saudi Arabia has a very low rate of crimes because it imposes death penalty and severe punishments. Values and morals must be protected by imposing maximum punishment for the criminals.

So capital punishment is needed in our country.

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 obviously be abolished. It's an inhuman act. When we can't give life to anyone, we don't have any right to snatch it. Capital punishment is not the only solution because it doesn't give chance to realise the mistakes. The need of the hour is to make people responsible for better nation and initiate them to involve themselves in hurtful acts. Instead this the victim should be given chance to take his revenge from the criminal but not as a mean of death.

Capital punishment should abolish.

Unless lives of others will flourish.
