In many places in the world today, the crime rate is going up. Whether it is for drug trafficking or possession, robberies, murder, rape, etc; once arrested, these persons get thrown in prison. The crimes are different. Some may not be too serious and others may be of extreme intensities. So one question that may be asked is what type of punishment is the best method for addressing crimes, capital or corporal punishment?
Capital punishment is the killing
of a person by judicial process as a punishment for an offense. Corporal punishment is the deliberate infliction of pain on someone for an offense, usually done in public. Capital punishment is found in many countries around the world and is used for persons who commit very serious crimes such as killing many persons. Corporal punishment usually involves the prisoner getting whipped or beaten every so often while they are in prison. So which one is more effective? We are not supposed to be killing anyone even if they deserve it, so I would say that corporal punishment should be carried out more. So even if we give someone capital punishment, why not apply corporal punishment along with it? Why not just let them serve life in prison and die naturally? So my main question is, if corporal punishment was applied more than capital punishment, do you think that the crime rate would increase or decrease?

I believe capital punishment should still be used. Criminals see that if there crime is too violent or gruesome they will recieve the death penalty. There needs to be some sort of limit to punishment because without it criminials would just get the life sentence and not worry about being killed for their crime. So without it criminals can do the most violent gruesome crime and if they happened to make it to a court room alive, they would still only get jail time.
ReplyDeleteYou're right FOR ME WE MUST APPLY THIS CONCEPT TO PREVENT MORE DANGEROUS CRIMINAL
DeleteMe too, i think that the capital punishment is the best way to lessen the crime because they will be afraid committing a crime because of the punishment. Its just an opinion.
