Paper Summary:
This paper examines the question, "Is the use of the death penalty an effective social response to deal with those who commit murder intentionally?". The author argues against it . The paper states that the death penalty is morally wrong, does not deter murder and that murders and crime in general are committed for complex issues; furthermore, there is always the possibility that an innocent person will be killed by mistake.From the Paper:
"Capital punishment is the lawful infliction of death as a punishment for a crime. Since ancient times it has been used for a wide variety of felonies. Today, it is mostly the punishment for murder, although in some countries it is also the penalty for drug-trafficking, terrorism and some other crimes, including ` political opposition' in some countries. Capital punishment is no longer practiced in Canada. The last execution in this country was in 1963. The situation is similar in most of Europe."More papers on Capital Punishment:
