Capital Punishment should be Banned or Allowed?

What kind of double standard is that most of the people say that Capital punishment is barbaric and it should be banned. But for eg suppose if someone rapes your sister and you are the judge what punishment would you give to the culprit? 1000% people will say we'll give him death punishment, many will say I will kill people ruthlessly. But if one rapes someone's sister then you say, no capital punishment should be banned so why it's a double standard, Law should be same for all. Isn't it?

Hi friends.

When we talk about capital punishment it has both pros and cons.

For example, if we allow CP the others may say it is a violation of FR (rt to life). Otherwise, if we abolish it there is no chance to curb the criminals further it leads to increase of crimes and violence against innocent and moreover they also criticise the government.

So, what I mean to say is "cp should allow according to the intensity of crime". As it is better when compared to allowing and abolishing cp completely.

Thank you.

Yes, It is not the right punishment. As pain feel by victim may be mental or physical is not imaginable. Country like Saudi Arabia gives such a dangerous punishment that no one could dare to commit the crime, but they don't use death penalty directly.

India is in need of such thing as rate of crime is increasing tremoundsly, for the safe future we have to take some concrete step as fast as possible.

Hi, everyone.

Most humans think that if they ruled the world, everything would be better, and that's because we tend to think that our opinions are absolute.

Many of us can say "we are all humans, we have the same rights", "we need to change them so we clean crime from the root" as well as we can say "fear is the best way to obey".

CP may be terrible as it is for some people, and yes, killing is cruel, but sadly, it's the most effective way to decrease crime. Trying to reinsert criminals to society may be effective for some, but most criminals just won't repent (or maybe they will fake their repentance). The best way to end crime is to eradicate it from its root, but that "root" can be taken as two different things: "education" and "life". So if we try to uproot this corruption, we can try to,

- Educate people to know what is right and what is wrong, and rehabilitate the corrupted, or.

- Exterminate corruption as deeply as possible.

Sadly, in a world already corrupted, the first one cannot happen. As cruel as it is, killing criminals is the best way to end this up; the easiest and the most effective. You may think "but people can be blamed for a crime they did not commit", then 1-the executed died innocent and that is what counts 2-we can try to make the "unproven criminals" stay in jail. In fact, they can be used as workers. Everyone has their own opinion, but an experience is what makes us think of an actual pseudo-solution.

As unperfect as it is, CP should be allowed.

I believe that CP should be abolished.

Life is all about being given a Second Chance.

In this view, A person committing a crime should be subjected to Rehabilitation Rather than Imprisonment.

A person should be made aware of his wrong deeds rather than being subjected to rigorous imprisonment and CP. A person commuting a crime has certainly Numerous Reasons behind it-may be unhealthy background, greed, jealousy, or any other motive. Everyone is aware of the fact of Judicial System and thus No one would Commit any sort of Crime for Fun or Experiment ation. And so it's necessary to understand the Criminal's mental state and treat accordingly to provide him a Better and Secure Life in Future. Our Constitution doesn't provide Right to kill any Human, and why should it?

If God is the one who gives us Life, it's He who should decide when He wants to take us Back to Him.

Thank You.

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.

Capital punishment should be banned I would like to ask all the people supporting CP that does it make us any better by killing those who kill?

Almost all religious texts say that killing any criminal makes us a bigger criminal. Also CP is taken as an opportunity to take revenge. It does not deter the crime. Mentally sick are also killed innocent ones lose their life.

Death penalty for individuals who don't have any fear of death which means talking to the deaf person who can't even listen. Rather we can use them as human Shields on borders, guinea pigs on Mars mission, land them on volcanoes to collect samples, put them in sewers to clean public drainage, ask them to build roads on hills and finally taking hell out of them every day. Don't let them exit so easily, let's make them pay. So abolish CP makes more sense.

Hi everyone who is reading it.

I don't know why the government is following the strict law of killing people when they do any criminal offense. Even lord Jesus has said that "Don't hate the criminal, but hate the crime" still then why is this sort of cruelty to the criminals! If a criminal is killed then the person just dies but the thoughts don't die with him only! The quality of mercy is more important than the king's crown & scepter. A person with the quality of mercy is compared with the Divine power. So one must be given a chance to rectify his mistakes. That's all what I wanted to say. Thank you.

Capital punishment is necessary, and applicable in India, as this will set an example to others, securing not only peace but the confidence of the citizens in the government. Confining a person with capital crime in prison leaves the victims or the family of the victims in fear and distress and later develop lack of confidence towards the government and also maintaining a high security prison and protocols for such convicts is expensive for government maintenance (whereas we can use this funds for the development of the nation) and India is capable for initiating capital punishment because we have an independent judiciary (so no politicizing of justice and capital punishment will not be misused). In conclusion, I don't want to know that Osama bin Ladin or any other terrorists and rapist running around or sitting in prison with a chance of jailbreak.
