PORTFOLIO 17. Arguments and Counterarguments: Capital Punishment.
Jeremy Irons gives arguments and counterarguments against death penalty. They will be developed in the following chart.
|
For
|
Against
|
|
Some countries execute people who were under 18 years old when the
crime was committed, others use the death penalty against people with mental
and intellectual disabilities and several others apply the death penalty
after unfair trials
|
Death penalty is not a deterrent of crime and it is irreversible.
|
|
A person who murders other one deserve to die. Any single person must
be judged by his/her offends.
|
There are criminals who prefer to live outside of the rules that
society sets. These individuals may never be rehabilitated. The death penalty
completely eliminates that possibility from the equation
|
|
When someone commits a horrific crime capital punishment provides a
safety net for the rest of the society. A sentence of death prevents that
person from committing another horrific crime. It also reduces the influence
that person would have on prison populations.
|
Death penalty abuses two of the most basic human rights. Everyone has
the right to live and no one shall be subject to torture.
Death penalty tortures
physically by the brutal nature of
execution and psychologically by forcing individuals to wait to be killed
|
|
Capital punishment laws create space for potential rehabilitation
without dealing with issues of prison over-population.
|
It costs more to implement the death penalty than offer life in
prison.
