Capital Punishment should be Banned or Allowed?

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.

Hi,

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

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.

Punishment should reduce crime; did hanging of Kasab reduce terrorism? Look what happened in Pathankot and your; did hanging in Nirbhaya case deterred criminals? Look what happened to Monika Ghurde; our laws nd policing need improvement; criminals gets courage because he knows the loopholes in our system. He knows that he can get out of it; if it is such that the criminal will surely get punished or convicted ie. If there is certainty of punishment then the law will act as a deterrent; but if there is no certainty of punishment. Which can be created by people with money? Getting best manipulative lawyer. WHICH IS THE TREND IN OUR COUNTRY. INDIA. Then, law doesn't serve as deterrent; when people are angry or frustrated. At that high point, they are unable to think about d consequences. Even if its death punishment. So this punishment doesn't serve purpose; but if our system nd law can prove that. A punishment is SURE if committed crime. Then it will deter people; some petty thieves stay in prison for many years even without conviction because he doesn't have money to get bailed. While some rich rapists nd murderers roam free and runs our country; I serve as a police officer and I swear that law in our country is very very very very very inefficient in giving justice to the poor and putting a rich criminal behind bars; NETAS are the father and BABUS are the mother of this country and the poor are like refugees.

Yes, According to me, the capital punishment should be allowed.

Capital punishments should not be banned because I think at least some members may be having a fear that if they commit that crime they will be killed. MY DEAR FRIENDS LET US SAVE SOME INNOCENTS THAN CRIMINALS.

Hello, everyone.

Truly, everyone has given a great point of views about this. Indeed I think that capital punishment should exist as I think that it's true that morality still relates to the law but morality on the cost of law is not right I think. Some of us argue that "eye for an eye make the whole world blind" but we should remember that we can't apply the theories of an idealist in reality so in case if C.P is not given to a terrorist then it's very dangerous to our economy and faith of the victims will set away from law. Soo I think C.P can be justified but it's also true that in same cases it can be replaced by some other grave punishment as a rapist is not truly entitled for C.P because taking his life in a second is not justice to the victim, but some grave punishment should be given to these type of heinous criminals. But the complete abolition of C.P will reduce the threat of punishment and encourage further crime.

THNKS FR READING PATIENTLY.

According to me, it should be eradicated.

It should be banned give justice not death.

The use of capital punishment is one of the best ways for a civilised society to make sure that it remains civilised long term.
