The Death Penalty Debate

In discussions of the death penalty, one controversial issue has been is it a good idea for the United States to use. On one hand, proponents argue that the death penalty is good for America. On the other hand, opponents contend that the death penalty is a horrible . Others even maintain stating that the death penalty costs america billions of dollars; however, my own view is that the death penalty is a useful and simplistic way of dealing with extravagant criminals. Death penalty is a just punishment for crimes committed against the rights to life, freedom and safety of victims. It deters would-be criminals to commit felonies. It is constitutional and does not violate the Eighth Amendment which prohibits the federal government from imposing
Murder is the crime society wants to prevent the most, it should use the highest form of punishment to defend families of victims and this is the death penalty. If more murders were executed by use of the death penalty then potential murders would think twice before committing the crime because of the fear of losing their life. For years, criminologists analyzed murder rates to visually perceive if they fluctuated with the likelihood of convicted murderers being executed, but the results were inconclusive.

The fact that some states have lower malefaction rates and do not utilize the death penalty is not because they have some other remotely deterrent or that they are more halcyon because they do not utilize it, is mendacious. Because if the states that do utilize the death penalty did not utilize it the states would have even higher rates of malefaction than they already do.Through use of the death penalty crime rates can be deterred because a murder executed can not murder again
Once there is punishment for every guilty criminal there will finally be equality for every criminal. Family members of victims go on to t.v. and show how dreadful and sorrowful they are mourning their loss, Their emotions show that they want justice for their loss, I believe that justice can only be the solution for families to be relieved. A serious crime calls for a serious penalty and that would be death, Like the saying goes “An eye for an eye,” if a murder kills someone then their punishment should be death to themselves.People who oppose death penalty claim that in the implementation of this capital punishment, innocent men are wrongly executed. According to "ProDeathPenalty" , there has never been any proof of it. Moreover, our criminal justice system takes extra precautions to be sure the innocent are protected. What's the use of the judges who were trained in this field? They also want to make sure who is guilty and
