death penalty
The death penalty system in the US is applied in an unfair and unjust manner against people,largely dependent on how much money they have, the skill of their attorneys, race of the victim and where the crime took place. People of color are far more likely to be executed than white people, especially if thevictim is white
The death penalty is a waste of taxpayer funds and has no public safety benefit order to reach a decesion.You do not have to be "soft on crime" to look into the lasting effects of the death penality.Major points in deciding rather or not to oppose the death penalty include innocence,high cost,prolonged suffering for families,inadequate legal representation,relegion and racial disparities.Human execution does not balance out murder nor does it cover up the lasting effects.
Much support for the death penalty is based on genuine fear. Alarmed by light sentences for murder, many people believe that capital punishment is the only way to ensure that murderers will not be out on the streets again to claim more victims. Yet the death penalty gives people a false sense of security. Thirty-eight of the 50 states now have it. But of those convicted of murder or voluntary manslaughter in state courts in 2002, only two percent were sentenced to death, and only 24 percent were sentenced to life in prison. Five percent received probation . Those who received prison sentences (other than life) were expected to serve an average of roughly 12 years in prison. If citizens realized this, they might conclude that the death -penalty debate is almost irrelevant. They might send a strong message to politicians and judges that they want murderers kept in prison for life. This message is long overdue. The death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the Constitution requires a long and complex judicial process for capital cases. This process is needed in order to ensure that innocent men and woman are not executed for crimes they did not
