CAPITAL PUNISHMENT An eye for an eye, is death true justification? Capital punishment, the supreme penalty, the taking of a criminal offender’s life. This option is currently not in Australia and should never come back. To have in re-introduced would mean that criminal offenders of any degree could have the possibility of being sentenced to death. Is it not enough of a statement that it was banned as an option? If we start here who knows were it ends? Capital Punishment: Involving loss of life, punishable by death, vitally injurious, fatal Re- introduce: Bring in, place in, insert, usher in, bring forward Option: Choice, choosing thing that is or may be chosen, freedom of choice What is the value of human life? Should such the violation of life result in death itself? Many offences hurt people deeply for the loss of a loved one. The simple need to hurt the offender seems to make the victims close relative/s feel better? Why is this? It is the human need revenge or more nicely put as justice. Many people feel that capital punishment is due, yet in many ways it only makes things worse than what they started off. Is capital punishment a deterrence? As facts would say it seems that in countries with capital punishment the rate of murders is higher than that of those without capital punishment. I also think of this as stopping a few people that would only do minor offences yet wouldn’t stop the worst offenders.
