and that mistakes in convictions are irreversible. Considering both sides, I believe the risks make the

death

penalty

unacceptable in today’s society. One advantage is that the

death

penalty

might discourage

crime

. The threat of

such

a serious punishment could prevent some violent crimes, and some families may find a sense of justice when offenders receive

this

penalty

, which can bring them closure.

However

, the drawbacks are serious. The risk of executing an innocent person is a major concern, as wrongful convictions cannot be reversed.

Also

, there is little proof that the

death

penalty

is better at preventing

crime

than life imprisonment. Many countries without the

death

penalty

have low

crime

rates, showing that other factors like education and poverty reduction may be more effective. In my view, the disadvantages outweigh the possible benefits. A modern society should focus on solving the root causes of

crime

, which is more ethical and effective than irreversible punishment. In conclusion,

while

the

death

penalty

may bring closure to some, its risks and limited effectiveness mean it does not fit in today’s justice
