Death Penalty Capital Punishment
716 words
Death Penalty Killing a criminal does not
constitute serving justice. Today s system of
capital punishment is made with many inequalities
and injustices. The commonly offered arguments for

deterrent. It removed killers. It was the ultimate
punishment. It is biblical. It satisfied the
public s need for retribution. It relieved the
anguish of the victim s family. Realistically, the
death penalty is expensive and time consuming.

hip-hop. Mainstream music is the sub-genre of rap
in which the consumers most readily purchase. For
