It has often been suggested that the reintroduction of capital punishment would deter the ever increasing rate of serious crime. What is your view? Do you think that capital punishment should be reinstated?
It is a fact that the world is witnessing a tremendous increase in the number of serious criminal activities. At
this
point, it is often recommended that the death penalty be reintroduced, to which I have a mixed response.
On the one side of the argument, if capital punishment is reinstated, the expected result is a substantial fall in the number of heinous crimes committed. To be more explicit, the Linking Words
last
few decades have witnessed increased crimes, including extortion, rape and murder. Critics point out that Linking Words
this
is mainly because of lax punishments. They argue if Linking Words
such
criminals are awarded the death sentence, it will be a deterrent factor, and naturally, there will be a decline in the frequency of Linking Words
such
criminal activities. I feel Linking Words
this
is true to an extent.

On the other hand
, the reintroduction of Linking Words
this
extreme punishment is questioned for its brutal nature. To be more apparent, many criminals who have committed crimes might be forced by some exceptional situations or without any serious intentions. Linking Words
For example
, in some circumstances, people commit murders for survival, Linking Words
while
some are forced to do so by external factions. In Linking Words
such
cases, the judiciary has to be careful in awarding a death sentence. Linking Words
Instead
, these people can be reeducated and reintroduced into society as productive citizens. There is some truth in Linking Words
this
Linking Words
also
.
Linking Words
To conclude
, there is no doubt that the reintroduction of capital punishment is an unjustifiable move considering humanity. Linking Words
However
, habitual criminals who threaten society can be executed by law.Linking Words
