Essay: Death penalty

Topic: By punishing murderers with the death penalty, society is also guilty of committing murder. Therefore, life in prison is a better punishment for murderers.
To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement.







OR





Crime is always one of the most controversial issues in any community. There is a heated argument that the violent criminal who killed other people must be taken the death punishment in any cases. However, other people debate that the rest of life in jail is a better solution for them and I agree with this. In this essay, I will analyze in detail.

While it is undeniable that murder is the worst crime a person can create, however in some situation, people have to change the way of judgment.  Perhaps, individual who is a victim of bullying or treating in a bad way just kill other people to protect themselves. For illustration, there are various cases that a woman who is a victim of rape tries to get out this through attacking other people. Therefore, making the death penalty for the murder should depend on the situation.

On the other hand, a lot of murderers have killed people in purpose, they have lost their personality and human being. Therefore, the death is suitable for them and for the society. However, if the criminal is still good enough to educate, the education in prison may be a better solution to change  their life. A classic example for it is that the murderer will understand their fault and correct it through contributing to the community by doing voluntary works in the prison. This penalty will help the murderers have another opportunity to change their life in to a better way.
 In conclusion, death may not be the worst punishment for the murderers. Living in the prison can help them do more good works for the society and let them suffer the consequence which they created.
