Some people argue that capital punishment is a brutal decision and should be abolished. Do you agree or disagree?

People have different views about

as some think that it is a ruthless judgement and should be discontinued.

, if imposed strictly, the severity of the

will certainly strike fear in the minds of some offenders. Another justification for the existence of capital punishment is that it is a cheaper approach in comparison to a

sentence. As we are all aware, state penitentiaries are financed by

money

collected from honest taxpayers. Without a doubt, sustaining the

life

of a serious offender for decades costs significantly more than ending it. To

money

is better spent elsewhere.
