Many people believe that death penalty is necessary to keep security system efficient in the society. While there are some negative aspects of capital punishment, I agree with the view that without it we will become more vulnerable to violence.
Death penalty can be considered unsuitable punishment for several reasons. The main reason is that we have no rights to kill other humans. Right to live is the basic right of any human being which cannot be violated in any case. Moreover, innocent people can get executed because of a mistake. Such sentences take away lives of innocent people and make other citizens lose faith in law and justice.
However, I believe that capital punishment is necessary in the society. Firstly, it is an effective deterrent of major crimes. The best method to prevent a person from committing crime is to show the consequences of his or her actions. For example, the government of Pakistan has controlled the rate of terrorism by enforcing death penalties for the members of terrorist organisations. Secondly, the governments spend large sums of national budget on maintenance of prisoners, which are taken from taxes of citizens. Instead, this money can be used for the development of the society and welfare of the people.
To sum up, although capital punishment has some disadvantages, I think that it proves to be the best way of controlling criminals, lessening governmental expenses and preventing other people from doing crimes.
