The question of the death penalty is always a lot of discussion and debate. Everyone has an opinion on this matter.
Personally, I am against the death penalty because I believe that death is too easy outcome for people committed horrible crimes. I think that is a psychological condition that the offender feels sitting in prison for many years, can’t be compared with the expectation of death, which occurs after a relatively short period of time. Everyone knows what will happen in places not so remote, for example, a pedophile — the criminals will be punished him in their concepts. That's why these criminals are placed in solitary confinement, where they face their main enemy — loneliness.
The fear of the death penalty doesn’t reduce crime rates. If her husband, who decided to kill his wife for any offense, she will say that it is waiting for this shot, it will not stop the threat. Also, the threat of death will not stop a man who decides to take revenge for the killing of a criminal loved one!
Also, there were cases of jurisprudence that a person was convicted by mistake; his guilt was not fully proved. If the sentence this man to death and do it, and after his death, it turns out that the verdict was wrong, a person can no longer be returned. But if a man is in jail, the case could be reconsidered. Can be found facts prove innocence.
Also from the point of view of criminal law punishment should fix convicted and prevent new crimes. The death penalty is of course to prevent further crimes, but you must admit, it is difficult to correct, if you're dead.
I would also like that the government had revised the legislation in the sphere of justice. To the criminals sitting in prison, paying for his stay there either themselves, earning money by performing some kind of dirty work either, or the court would oblige families to pay for their incarceration.
Fight with the criminals of the same methods are not only pointless, but also stupid, because the death penalty is, in fact, protecting the right to life of one person deprives another of the right. I believe no one has the right to deprive a person of life, and the state as well.
