THE PROS OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:
- Provides closure and a sense of justice for victims and their families.
- Acts as a deterrent to potential criminals, discouraging them from committing heinous crimes.
- Removes dangerous individuals from society, preventing them from causing harm again.
- May save costs compared to lifelong incarceration, as it eliminates ongoing expenses related to housing and healthcare for the convicted.
- Upholds the principle of proportionality by ensuring the punishment matches the severity of the crime.
THE CONS OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:
- Irreversible nature of the punishment, leading to the risk of executing innocent individuals.
- Violation of the right to life, as recognized by many international human rights standards.
- Disproportionate impact on marginalized communities and individuals without adequate legal representation.
- Does not address the root causes of crime or offer opportunities for rehabilitation and reform.
- Inconsistent application of the death penalty, raising concerns about arbitrariness and potential bias in the justice system.
