general opinion
human life--> valuable
worst murders should not robbed their lives
human rights
everyone the human right to life
also who commit murder
most convincing argument
sooner/later innocent people killed
witnesses, prosecutors and jurors make mistakes
capital punishment-->mistakes cannot be put right
The death penalty--> irreversible act of violence -->the state
ample evidence mistakes
in USA 130 people sentenced to death --> found innocent since 1973
failure to deter
not deter people commiting serious crimes
deters=the likelihood being caught/punished
retribution is wrong
immoral
sanitised form of vegeance
other crimes not receiving punishment mimics the crime
example: rapists not punished by sexual assault
mismatch to the crime
double punishment
execution and the preceding wait
average wait USA 10 years
Brutalising the society
statistics show--> death penalty--> brutalisation of the society + increased murder rate
states murder rate
death penalty abolished
4.01 per cent / 100.000 people
including death penalty
5.00 per cent /100.000 people
gap non- states <-->death penalty states -->4 per cent in 1990 to 25 per cent in 2010
Capital punishment costs--> great deal
reason some states--> abolish capital punishment
New York 170 million dollar no executions 9 years
New Jersey 253 million dollar no executions 25 years
many countries--> capital punishment
lethal injection
thought less cruel for offender+ less brutalising executioner
medical personnel directly involved -->killing process
fundamental contravention -->medical ethics
not as 'humane' as thought
offender-->the ability exprience pain
The state allowed punish crime -->the least harmful way
Other states have--> other punishments punish murders +contended society
states exists--> capital punishment should abolished
