Capital Punishment: an Egregious Epitome; an Unjust MethodologyWrite a 1,000 word essay using this outline with hard language and precision. Capital Punishment: an Egregious Epitome; an Unjust Methodology
Introduction:
Thesis (Statement; viz.,): The death penalty should be abolished in the United States due to its ineffectiveness, potential for executing innocent individuals, and the more humane alternatives available.
I. Claim/Reason 1: The death penalty is an ineffective deterrent of crime
Evidence: Studies show no significant correlation between the death penalty and crime rates
Support: In their study, Donohue and Wolfers (2006) analyze empirical evidence surrounding the death penalty and crime deterrence and find no significant correlation between the two. (Donohue & Wolfers, 791-846)

II. Claim/Reason 2: Death penalty states have consistently higher murder rates than non-death penalty states
A. Evidence; Support: According to data from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, states with the death penalty generally have higher murder rates compared to states without it. (FBI Uniform Crime Reports)

III. Claim/Reason 3: The risk of executing innocent people is too high. 
Evidence 1: A significant number of death row inmates have been exonerated
Support 1: The National Registry of Exonerations reveals that there have been numerous cases of wrongfully convicted death row inmates being exonerated after reconsideration of their cases. (National Registry of Exonerations)
       B. Evidence 2: The judicial system is not infallible, leading to potential wrongful convictions 
Support 2: The Innocence Project highlights several cases where the judicial system has failed by convicting innocent individuals due to factors such as flawed evidence or witness misidentification. (Innocence Project)

IV. Claim/Reason 4L Existence of more humane alternatives to the death penalty 
Evidence 1: Life imprisonment without parole is a more ethical and effective punishment 1. Support 1: In their book “Courting Death,” Steiker and Steiker (2016) argue that life imprisonment without parole is not only a more ethical alternative to the death penalty but also a more effective method of punishment. (Steiker & Steiker)
Evidence 2: Rehabilitation programs can help reduce crime rates and improve society
Support 2: The National Institute of Justice supports the implementation of rehabilitation programs to reduce crime and recidivism rates, thus showing a more humane and beneficial alternative to the death penalty. (National Institute of Justice)
V. Conclusion
A. The death’s penalties’ lack of association with crime rate reduction, risks with malpractice and ethical concerns – with more humane alternatives (e.g., rehabilitation; lifetime incarceration) implicate the socioeconomic illegality of the death penalty; of – which induces more harm than a proper net benefit.
