Motion: The death penalty should be completely abolished [Done by Ramizah]

Adaptations from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(legal)
http://wikireason.net/wiki/Capital_punishment
Capital punishment, or the death penalty, is the execution of a convicted criminal by the state as punishment for crimes known as capital crimes or capital offences. Historically, the execution of criminals and political opponents was used by nearly all societies - both to punish crime and to suppress political dissent. Among democratic countries around the world, most European (all of the European Union), Latin American, many Pacific Area states (including Australia, New Zealand and Timor Leste) and Canada have abolished capital punishment, while the United States, Guatemala, and most of the Caribbean as well as some democracies in Asia and Africa retain it. Among nondemocratic countries, the use of the death penalty is common but not universal.

In most places that practice capital punishment today, the death penalty is reserved as a punishment for premeditated murder, espionage, treason, or as part of military justice. Death penalty should not be completely abolished, it should be carried out based on certain factors.

Death penalties should be implemented depending on what kind of crimes that people are convicted for. Capital punishment is implemented mainly to psychologically scare others into not doing such crimes. If such punishments are not implemented to crimes such as murder,are there other ways to punish these offenders? Prisoners jailed for life can still kill other inmates or prison guards. Is corporal punishment enough?

On the contrary, some people feel that death penalty is a violation of the right of life and has a brutalizing or coarsening effect either upon society or those officials and jurors involved in a criminal justice system which imposes it. Scientific studies have been unable to prove that death penalty is a deterrent. Revenge is not an acceptable moral or ethical justification for murder.

The issue on death penalty is something that should be carefully handled.
