Your view on Capital punishment?
If you kill someone should you be killed?

3 AntwortenI used to be all for the death penalty. "An eye for an eye." However, after studying the criminal justice systems for other countries for the past 3 months and working on a comparative paper, I have come to the realization that perhaps the death penalty is not all that it is cracked up to be. In America we have become so focused on the punishment of the offender that we do not look into why they offended in the first place. Austria and Germany have revamped their justice system to be more rehab focused and it is working. The US might benefit from Germany/Austria's knowledge here.
-
Nope, especially not with the amount of people sitting on death row, proven innocent decades later.
-
Flaws of the justice system aside, yes some people have forfeited their right to live.
-
11 AntwortenWhy should we be wasting money feeding and housing criminals that will be in jail for the rest of their lives?!
-
If you're found guilty and charged and sentenced to execution, that should be it. There should only be an appeal if you have evidence that you didn't do it. That fixes the "death is more expensive" argument.
-
Doesn't accomplish anything
-
Terrible idea. Violation of human rights, highly expensive, does not deter crime, is often racially or politically motivated in the few arguably backwards countries that still employ it, has resulted in the deaths of dozens of innocents, and is in my opinion pretty barbaric.
-
3 AntwortenGiven that it's much more expensive to kill someone rather than locking them away for life, I'd prefer the locking them away for life. inb4: it doesn't cost much to put a bullet into their head ^That's not how America's justice system works. It's also barbaric and inhumane to do such a thing, especially since the old adage, "Justice is blind" holds true, and there have been cases where innocent people were on death row. So, it's a bad idea financially, and it also looks bad that a 1st world, developed country still does things that the enemy they are fighting are doing right now.
-
If there is evident proof that a person did it, then yes. Like a video.
-
59 AntwortenNo, the whole point of prison is to help them become better. They'll never get better if you just kill them. Besides, it's barbaric.
-
Depending on circumstances

Bearbeitet von Ogma: Destroyer of Worlds: 4/17/2016 11:23:28 AMI understand the need to separate them from society, but I don't think that showing society that killing is bad, by killing, is a good idea. It reeks of a "revenge" type of mentality in a way and I don't think that's a great thing either.
-
"PUNISHMENT" it's bigger.
-
Capital punishment should be saved for murders, r@pists, terrorists, and turncoats.
-
1 AntwortenIf it is a brutal murder. Pre-meditated . like chopping someones head off and wearing it as a trophy. Then yes. Bring back public hangings and the guillotine.

Just make it go faster so we don't have people it jail for 1047 years. Kill em. [i]~TheGreatReebok[/i]

1 AntwortenIf they have indeed murdered or tortured someone or multiple people, then yes. If they took someone's life in self defense/to defend the life of another, then no, of course not. There should be no punishment whatsoever for self defense; self defense is a human right. If they're some sort of 'highest level' child molester/sex offender then yes to that as well. It should be done swiftly and with very little cost to the tax payers. Screw rehabilitating, feeding, giving medical care to, giving dental care to, providing optical care to, and wasting God knows how much tax payer dollars keeping cockroaches like that alive, living in a prison somewhere with TVs, books and magazines, writing autobiographies, filing petty grievances, and possibly being given the chance to harm more innocent people, all while abusing the system and expecting everyone to give them all this special treatment and consideration when they themselves gave the exact opposite to those whose lives they took and/or destroyed. -blam!- that.

[quote]If you kill someone should you be killed?[/quote]This has almost nothing to do with my views on capital punishment.
-
2 AntwortenIt's not as simple as "if you kill someone should you be killed"
-
Bring back the guillotine!
-
I sometimes wonder, Would the number of violent crimes committed every year increase, decrease, or remain unchanged if executions were conducted in the open public for all citizens to see? (Very much like the public executions from the medieval era.) What do you guys think?
-
Only a perfect government should have this power. And since there is none any government involved in capital punishment will execute innocent people.
-
1 AntwortenI still believe that the "Eye for an eye" type of punishment should still be in effect
-
3 AntwortenI'd rather do away with it entirely. The cases are few and far between, but there exist instances where people are executed, only to be found out later that they were innocent. If we can prevent a few accidental executions at the expense of keeping people in prison for life, I'm ok with that.
-
Yes, but only if it is turned into an amusement park.
