It asks our citizens to rely on legal procedures rather than to self-help their wrongs doings. It is morally right to sentence a person to the death penalty who has commited a serious crime as murder. If someone has murdered a person it is unethical to let the murderer live when you have an innocent person who is dead. Capital Punishment has to be based entirely on consideration of justice and morality. Finally, the death penalty is a deterrent against crimes.
Statistics show that the crime rate is reduced in all states that hold the death penalty.
The point given to these people is that they are less likely to commit a crime knowing they will receive the ultimate punishment to kill. Still, Capital Punishment is supported by many Americans. They usually rely on deterrence as their main reason to deter people from committing serious crimes. Hopefully Capital Punishment will be legalized in many states to eliminate violence from american life. Many people feel Capital Punishment will not discourage crime.
