It is a controversial topic to use capital punishment - the penalty of being legally killed. About 80 countries enforcie it to prevent a serious crime.
Some people insist that keeping captial punishment has a deterring effect to would-be murderers.
However, it doesn't seem to work because the countries which use this punishment have a similar crime rate compared to those which don't have it.
What's more, the verdict of jury or the decision of the court are not always correct. Sometimes, they can make a big mistake and judge unfairly. A few years age, there was a dentist who was suspected of killing his wife. He didn't accept the judgement of the lower court and appealed to supreme court. Finally the supreme court declared him innocent after 5 years.
Those who approve of capital punishment think that we are spending a lot of tax managing prisoners who commit a crime. However I think our society should take responsibilty for the criminals. It is useless to take revenge on them through a legal way.
One of the most important things is to prevent crime and educate them to live together.
