It is a commonly held belief that the death penalty is a good deterrent to prevent heinous crimes. However, others believe that life long sentence is a better deterrent. Discuss both views.

It is

undoubtful

that every

crime

has to be punished and there are varying opinions on the method of punishments to be given for each

crime

. A good number of people believe that the ultimate penalty of death is the best

option

for heinous offence and they do even believe that

this

sentencing can prevent

such

actions. Some others believe in

life time

the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)

lifetime

sentencing for atrocities. In

this

essay, I intend to delve into both the views on

this

heated topic.

First

of all, penalties should be in

such

a way that, it won’t be repeated in

future

the future

and

moreover

that, it should remind people the consequences or

aftereffects

Suggestion

after effects

and should keep the citizens away from committing the fault.

Secondly

, death warrant can be considered unsuitable punishment for several reasons. Right to live is the basic right of any human being, and no one can infringe

this

right, irrespective of the person’s deeds.

Furthermore

, innocent people can face wrongful execution. And

besides

, sometimes criminals repent of their acts. In

this

case, they should be given a

second

chance to improve themselves. As judicial execution can’t be revoked, it will be a wrong choice of disciplinary action.

Therefore

, the only viable

option

is to go for various

mode

modes

of punishments depending on the intensity of

crime

Suggestion

the crime

. For heinous crimes,

life

long sentencing is a better

option

, where, the concerned can regret and can transform themselves.

On the other hand

, keeping the prisoners in the jail is costly in terms of security,

work force

the force of workers available

workforce

and other expenses

such

as food, shelter, etc.

In addition

, from an economic point of view, for a criminal to have millions spent on them, cannot be justified. Judicial killing is sometimes the best

option

as it lessens the governmental expenses, frightens people and

thus

prevent them from doing the misdeed in future.

For example

, most of the countries have implemented the execution as the capital punishment for those caught in terrorist activities. In India, one among the terrorists is executed in 2016, by considering the legalised killing is the ultimate forfeiture. To sum up, there are pros and cons to both death penalty and

life sentence

Suggestion

life sentences

. Developing morality in citizens from the school

can lessen the

crime

rate. A moralistic

can create a better nation where the intensity of

offense

a lack of politeness; a failure to show regard for others; wounding the feelings or others

offence

will be less, where, the decision of

judiciary

the judiciary

on the mode of trial can be asserted.
