I'm against the capital punishment because of the following facts: 1) Capital punishment breeds cruelty in society. For a long time, crowds of people gathered in the squares to watch how criminals were hanged, burned or beheaded. However, in more ancient times, executions were even more cruel and sophisticated - which is worth at least pouring boiling resin or impaling. Nevertheless, the methods did not scare away the audience, on the contrary - the people wanted more and more bloody spectacles. In an atmosphere of cruelty and impassivity, new crimes were committed with enviable regularity.2) Capital punishment does not eliminate the cause of the crime. The main factors provoking crime are poverty, lack of education, inequality, mental deviations of a particular criminal. The death penalty cannot in any way affect the indicated reasons.3) Capital punishment does not provide an opportunity for correction.4) The possibility of a miscarriage of justice.No matter how professional the investigators conducting the criminal case, no matter how convincing the evidence of the guilt of the convicted person, and no matter how fair the trial is, there is always a possibility of error in the judicial system of any country on our planet. Until the verdict is put into effect, the convicted person still has hope and the opportunity to collect the necessary evidence of his innocence and convince the investigation and the court of this.
