Death Penalty Capital Punishment
321 wordsA paraphrase of The Death Penalty is a Step Back In Indiana, during 1981, when Steven Judy was put to death, the U. S. A. made another severe mistake by making capital punishment okay to do to our criminals. The fact that he committed four treacherous murders is irrelevant, because America cannot possibly have a substantial society in which the government is justified in killing its citizens. A lot of feedback has come from the death penalty due to the recent rise in the crime rate, but capital ...

Capital Punishment Death Penalty

Capital Punishment Death Penalty
426 wordsWhat type of society kills its own people? The American cultures morals have accepted the death penalty as a reasonable punishment.

Abolish The Death Penalty Mentally Retarded
1,184 wordsThe sentence of capital punishment is an expensive barbaric alternative for punishing a criminal. Where does the hostility and ignorance stop once it begins? Murder is unaccepted by society, yet people seem to pacify themselves by killing criminals. Is that not considered to be murder? Sentencing a criminal to death does not solve the questions and problems that are left behind. Parents will still cry for a child that is never coming home. Mourning families will still carry a never-ending hearta...

Death Penalty Killer Give
225 wordsI am all for Capital Punishment. I think that if you kill someone you should be given the death penalty.

If a man kills a man and is convicted he should be ready to die next. When you give a killer t...

Mentally Retarded People Put To Death
1,632 wordsIs Capital Punishment an effective penalty? Yes. It protects society and keeps order in it as well. Capital Punishment does not stop people from killing one another.

I believe that it is a just and efficacious punishment for those who commit crimes bad enough to deserve death. Now does the death penalty truly deter crimes and murder? This question is in the center of a big political controversy o...

Commit A Crime Convicted Criminals
1,002 wordsIt is unreasonable to think that to take the life of a man who has taken that of another is to show lack of regard for human life. We show, on the contrary, an emphatic regard for it, by the adoption of a rule that he who violates that right in another forfeits it for himself. My agreement with these, the words of philosopher John Stuart Mill, compels me to affirm today s resolution, that capital punishment is justified. My value premise for the round will be justice, giving each individual his ...

Put To Death Due To The Fact
575 wordsMore money is spent executing humans than keeping them in a penitentiary for life. Compared to capital punishment, life in prison is far worse. Mistakes may be made and no one can bring another human back to life. Juries are often white and this may lead to racial decisions. Of the 144 executions since the 1976 reinstatement of the death penalty in the U. S. , not one white person has been executed for killing a black. Of the 16, 000 executions in U. S. history, only 30 cases involved a white se...

450 wordsDeath and Justice by Edward Koch A response In reading Mr. Koch s article Death and Justice, I was quite impressed with his opinions and ability to articulate them. I must say that I too am a supporter of the death penalty and would be hard pressed to argue my point more convincingly than Mr. Koch. Mr. Koch mentions several points, but the three that are the most poignant are his arguments concerning the barbaric, murderous, and imperfect aspects of the death penalty. First, I do not feel that t...
