THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INCREASING NUMBER OF SERIOUS CRIMES COMMITTED EACH YEAR. WHILE SOME THINK THE BEST WAY IS TO USE THE DEATH PENALTY AS A DETERRENT, MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT OTHER MEASURE WILL BE NEEDED. DISCUSS BOTH VIEWS

Annually, criminal activities have been skyrocketing by leaps and bounds. Some people think that introducing corporal punishment would deter

such

acts, whereas, vast majority propose that other corporal measures should be adopted.

This

essay will provide a concrete discussion on both viewpoints. On the one hand, the proponents of

death penalty

Suggestion

the death penalty

have asserted that

such

ideology would be an ultimate way to terminate crime, as

would discourage individuals from committing

such

folly conducts. Take,

for instance

states that anyone who commits murder must be stoned to

death

As a result

, the Israelites, who were the inhabitants of the land, avoided anything that could lead to their untimely

death

In addition

points that anyone caught in

has prompted people to avoid

business deals.

On the other hand

, the antagonists give preference to the use of techniques, like, imprisonment, induced hard

labor

labour

, and other forms of social services, since they viewed instant

death

sentence as a harsh treatment.

Moreover

, they claim that serious offences can, at times, be done unknowingly, and

for

someone who committed murder while trying to self-defend himself. To illustrate the success rate of these strategies, Ghana has recorded about 57 percent reduction in violent acts over the past 5 years. In conclusion, penalizing hoodlums

Therefore
