2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages) | 10 sources | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

Argues against use of the death penalty as ineffective punishment. Claims it is not fairly administered, does not deter people from committing murder, does not effect the conscience of children, and is the most costly way of dealing with criminal offenders. Gives pros and cons of the death penalty, arguments and counter-arguments.

From the Paper:

"Capital Punishment


Enthymeme:
Capital Punishment raises quantifiable objections because the Death Penalty is morally, ethically and economically questionable.


Specific Support:
Capital Punishment is actually not a moral deterrent because there are no proven direct correlations in studies between patterns in executions and the steady rate of crime; after execution, the murder rate has actually been proven to substantially increase rather than decrease; and children in the U.S. do not witness capital executions and thus, do not benefit from viewing the punishment event. The Death Penalty is unethically utilized discriminatory against minorities, the poor and uneducated.
