Capital punishment

Capital punishment is the only way to deter the criminals

Written by Mahkam Mostaghim

I would like to open this article with this question: Is capital punishment essential and unavoidable?
Lets look at the case in this way. Crimes are anywhere. In my opinion even more than few decades ago. Record and estimate of crimes show that the number of crimes drastically has been increased .Why people committed crimes, is another topic to discus. But shall we let the criminals be free and no punishment on them? Shall we live in darkness and let our society fall?

In fact no offence but China has the highest nmber of capitl punishment and my country Iran as I love this country so much ,but due to changing the government 35 years ago a lot of rues and regulations got more stirct in a matter of punishment for exemple.Iran has pretty high number of corporal and capital punishment.In SOme countries and espcially in Amercia ,they may never use this method anymore ,as they claim this is the life god gave to you and you are the only ne to be in charge and responisble of what you do.and just to be punished by law is maximum life imprisonment.We see rare number of death penalty in West more than Islamic countries in Asia or Middle East though.

In fact to punish the criminals and eliminate the crimes are our duties. Every one is responsible for what he does, but if it comes back to the society’s responsibilities, then it effects on everyone else.

The point is there should a proper punishment, but obviously not death penalty for all type of crimes.
Sometimes crimes are severe and need to be distinguished from the others specifically. If a criminal has been sentenced to death, it is better to reconsider the judgment ,because it ends an innocent life.

Anti-capital punishment organizations have been established a few decades ago to protect the human rights. In a lot of societies majorities are against capital punishment .They claim we can’t end someone’s life so easily and hastily and make a proper judgment .On the other hand they say you can make a good example by executing someone and expect others get a good lesson.

A lot of liberal-minded people say that is horrifying to observe, hanging and electric chair are different type of barbarous actions and brutal. More over it brings failure to social justice rather than a great success.

On the other hand, a lot of cases show a big number of criminals who have been imprisoned for years, get released and then commit another crime. Such cases can divide a nation.

To sump up, the death penalty is good to bring a justice to innocents and criminals and reduce severe crimes.
