There is an organization whose name is ICDP (International Comission Against Death Penalty), which objective is to abolish the number of death penalty all over the world. Death penalty is being discussed whether it should be abolished or not in the world. This organization claims that death penalty should be abolished because of following reasons. At first, there is a possibility that innocent people are killed. Even though judicial system develop, judges are people, which means that since people make a dicision, some failures will occur unintentionally. Second, this organization claims that existing death penalty violates human rights and human dignity. They say that death penalty degrades our existence as human. Also, it is being discussed whether death penalty is effective to reduce crimes by many professionals of legislation. Those professionals state that even though there is death penalty, a number of cruel cases still happen; thus, according to them, it seems that death penalty is not effective. Their work is besically having a conference and make a report. In my opinion, death penalty is not effective because in my country, death penalty is only applied to very cruel cases as a murder of more than 2 or 3 people. I think that people who commit very cruel crimes don't care about laws because they tend to have resentment against something; thus, we can abolish death penalty if it is not strictly applied to many cases, but I think we should broaden the extent of application to many cruel cases.

ReplyDeleteIn China,there is another kind of penalty called probation.It means that before you are determined to death penalty,you have several years to reduce your punishment if you perform and act very well in prison. So do you think that it is a better way to respect the human rights and make penalty more effective?

ReplyDeleteI agree with death penalty. I have seen many news that after the criminals get out of prison, they commit the same crime. Innocent people were killed by them. I think death penalty will be effective since it is against the human nature.

ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think death penalty is necessary. Death is too cruel.Life imprisonment is suitable. It can give the prisoners chance to live and they cannot hurt other people at the same time.
