The death penalty is the banishment of criminals who have executed one or more citizens on purpose (usually through injection). The death penalty may be decided depending on the outcome of the crime; though, it may be put in for treason. There are many pros and cons of the death penalty and many people get into heavy debates over it. First, the pros will be revealed. The crimes of murder, rape, kidnapping, torture, etc. are all debatable for the death penalty, such as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (the bomber of the Boston marathon). The majority of Boston favored that he was set to the death penalty. This was a reasonable decision because of all of the damages that Tsarnaev was responsible for.

There is no racism in the death penalty and the statistics reinforce that out of all of the races being executed, most have been white. Therefore, the argument of racial death sentences may be invalid in most situations. Lethal injections are the most popular type of death sentence. The lethal injection is three injections, first being an anesthetic followed by pancuronium bromide used for paralyzing the suspect, and lastly comes potassium chloride to stop the heart.

One may never know the importance of the death penalty but it is best that no one ever knows personally the difference that it can make. The execution is a good method to keep families safe. This method should not be stopped because people that may make a huge impact in the world later on in life could be killed if we don’t get rid of these criminals. Every life
