Capitial Punishment

Lately the topic of Capital Punishment has been coming up in my Criminal Justice class. I am in between weather I believe Capital Punishment is wrong or right. I do believe that if you do have it in your self to kill someone then you have evil inside you. If you take the life of someone else or rape someone you do not deserve to live. Taking the life of someone damages the victim’s families and friends. There is nothing you can do that will bring that person back to the people that have loved them. Also rape is a serious crime. It damages the victim and their family.

On the other hand I don’t think that killing the inmate will solve the problem. After they are dead there is still that hurt inside of the people that will never go away. You can never get the person back and killing someone does not make everything better. Sometimes it is worse for the person to sit behind bars all their life thinking about the crime they committed.

In conclusion Capital Punishment can be either a good way to deal with the death of someone you love or it could be completely the opposite. There is no one person who can decide if it is wrong or right. There are many different views on this matter and in the discussion of Capital Punishment will go on without a end.
