▶ Your Answer :
Capital punishment has been existed for
more than 5 centuries. This has disappeared in this recent century for the
rights of criminals as a human and for the cruelty reasons. During the
existence of capital punishment the crime rates decreased significantly.
However, it is a questionable whether the capital punishment is a best option.
Therefore, I believe that the alternative method should be searched.
A death penalty is the most effective way
to reduce the crime rates for the short term. After the president of
Philippines announced to remove all the crimes by death penalty, the crime
rates declined by 31% in Philippines. This reduction in criminal rate was achieved
by killing more than 1,000 criminals, and can be considered as a lot of
citizens died. However, if Philippines did not declare a war against criminals,
the crime rates in the world and the crime rates in Philippines will never be
reduced.
Death penalty is a definite measure which
can bring a fear into society for commit a crime. This will influence heavily
onto the crime rates. However, it cannot ignore the objective for punishment.
The objective for punishment is the reduction of crime rates and the discipline
criminals. Capital punishment is satisfied a half of this objective, so it
should be revised its method. Therefore, the alternative method should be
revised to where it can satisfy all of punishments objectives.
In conclusion, a death penalty can be
effective in order to reduce a crime rate. However, because it does not meet
the objective of punishment for discipline, it should be modified. The
alternative method should satisfy all of objective of punishments would be the
best methods. |
