Some people advocate death penalty for those who committed violent crimes. Others say that capital punishment is unacceptable in contemporary society. Describe advantages and disadvantages of death penalty and give your opinion.
Although
death

the death penalty
penalty
is the most serious punishment
for those who committed cruel crimes, there are some significant drawbacks of this
preventive measure. I opine that capital punishment
has more negative aspects compared to any advantages it might bring.
Admittedly, there are some basic benefits of death

the death penalty
penalty
. Firstly
, victim`s relatives and friend get a deep feeling of satisfaction knowing that a person who had taken lives would be dead too. Secondly
, it is argued that awareness of possible capital punishment
will prevent people from committing harmful crimes by frightening them. For instance
, according to a questionnaire that was done by psychologists in the United States at 2018, 80% of people still support death

penalty
for crimes against children and disabled people.
Nevertheless
, despite of the advantages above, I believe that such
measure not only does not help to reduce atrocious crimes, but it also
made felons to commit more sophisticated offences in hope to avoid of being arrested. Furthermore
, regardless of capital punishment
, the number of violent crimes increases every year. Moreover
, death

penalty
does not make crimes suffer for what they have done as the victim`s relatives always hope for. For example
, in 2008 London`s Human Association found that almost all victim`s relatives preferred life imprisonment above capital punishment
.
In conclusion, I am convinced that negative aspects of death
penalty
far outweigh any of the minor benefits. If it were not for huge public resonance and hard debates, such
measure of punishment
would be declined long time ago.Submitted by mariia.shemiakova on
