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 sides.

Although

it is thought by some that a penalty as severe as

death

would deter frequent

offenders

from committing heinous crimes, others believe that there has to be an alternate solution to bring a change in their mindset. In my opinion, not only using a life

sentence

or a

death

penalty is a must, but

also

other measures have to be taken by the government to reduce the crime rate. On the one hand, a

death

sentence

is considered one of the harshest punishment to deter

offenders

, according to some.

In other words

, it discourages or instils fear among other inmates or criminals, who have the tendency to re-offend.

For instance

, in the middle-east, a

death

sentence

is carried out on the convicts immediately without multiple trials, for a sexual offence or for other crimes that are considered unpardonable.

Furthermore

, criminals receiving lengthy punishment would

also

mean the crime is wrong and would send a strong message to the public, especially to the ones who have

iolent nature.

On the other hand

, it is often thought that a strict measure would be required to be put in place by the government, for the criminals to refrain from committing offences. While serving the

sentence

, the

offenders

could be put in training programmes which would train them in new skills.

As a result

,

this

would provide them with the required opportunity to find employment once their

sentence

is over, which would give them a sense of confidence and security.

Moreover

, they ought to be given rehabilitation programmes before re-entering society, as serving a lengthy

sentence

would mean they are used to prison life, cut-off from the outside world. In conclusion, despite people having different views, I believe it is best to have counselling sessions and to re-train

offenders

for anti-social
