penalty is thought by some to be an appropriate punishment for committing violent crimes, other

consider that it should be abolished in the modern world. In my opinion, the

sentence brings about more problems for the general public,

Firstly

, the state can save money since a lethal injection costs notably less than life imprisonment, which is carried out at the expense of taxpayers.

For instance

, the crime rate is known to be extremely low in countries with implemented judicial execution,

as the USA and Japan. It is a widespread belief that were it not for a possibility of a

capital punishment. One extremely dangerous issue is the possibility of a wrong person being sentenced to

death

due to flaws in the judicial system. Not only does

of low social status, but the final sentence

also

highly depends on the quality of the attorney they can afford. Another obvious issue is that the

death

penalty is often considered to be insufficient punishment in terms of repairing damage to the community done by the offender. More and more often now the retribution is being earned through hard work in life-long imprisonment, which is known to be the key to prosperity for the whole of

. In conclusion, I am convinced that being unjustly sentenced to

execution as well as lacking retribution to
