Some people believe that capital punishment should never be used. Others, however, argue that it should be allowed for the most serious crimes. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There are some countries who still follow the death penalty or execution for certain crimes. Some people think that capital punishment is regressive in nature and there is no place for
such
law in a civilized society.
On the other hand
, some people are of the opinion that capital punishment should continue for heinous crimes. In my opinion, I agree with the statement death sentence in rare cases as it is needed to protect the peaceful citizens of any nation.
Firstly
, crime is a social plague every nation is facing. In some countries, criminals escape even after committing serious wrongdoings. Terrorism is another major crisis in today's world. When religious extremists are killing innocent people for no reason,
such
offences cannot be justified in any capacity in a civilized country.
For example
, recently a terrorist in India was hanged for mass murdering hundreds of innocent people in Mumbai. When
such
extremists attack any nation, if the respective country

not take harsh steps to curb terrorism, it will never stop. Radicalized groups should fear the consequence of committing
such
misdeeds.

xecution of mass murderers are necessary.
However
,
such
judgement to take a life of any offender should be analysed carefully and not be rushed. The intensity of crime should be thoroughly studied and understand the mindset of the offender during the situation when the incident happened. Mostly, criminals are mentally disturbed and depressed. When there is every chance of changing a person by making him/her realise the mistake, in
such
a scenario extreme step like death sentencing should be avoided.
For instance
, a serial killer who is not stable mentally, when caught after several murders in society should be sent to rehabilitation centres rather than killing him too. If authorities weigh every crime in the same manner and suggest to take

decisions become barbaric in nature. In conclusion, I agree with the notion of capital punishment for very serious and heinous crimes like terrorist attacks where innocent lives are destroyed. By doing so, the country is sending a strong message to those who are planning for more
such
attacks in future.
