Band 5+: Without capital punishment (the death penalty) our lives are less secure and crimes of violence increases. Capital punishment is essential to control violence in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

NOWADAYS THERE IS AN ARGUMENT THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL AND REDUCE THE CRIME IS THE DEATH PENALTY.

THIS ESSAY WILL DISGUSS B DRAWBACKS OF THIS TREND AND SHOW WHY I COMPLETELY DISSAGREE WITH THIS TREND.

DEFENDERS OF THIS TOPIC WHEN TALKING ABOUT IT SUGGEST THAT THE CRIMINALS WOULD BE MUCH MORE TERRIFIED TO COMMIT VIOLENCE IF THE STAKES ARE AT THE HGHESTT THEREFORE DEATH. HOWEVER MANY RESEARCHES SHOW EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE . IN THE LAST DECADE SOM COUNTRIES TRIED TO IMPLEMENT THIS ETHOD. FOR INSTANCE TURKMENISTAN MADE CHILD INVOLVING CRIMES PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. AT FIRST PEOPLE APPLAUDED TO GOVERNMENT BUT IT COMPLETELY BACKFIRED.INDIVIDUALS S WHO ONCE COMMITED KNEW THAT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR TURNING BACK AND CONTINUED THEIR ACTIONS THE GOVERNMENT HAD TO ABOLISH THIS LAW AND THE CRIME WENT 23 PERCENT DOWN. RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD SUGGEST THAT ISOLATION AND BEING STRIPPED OF FREEDOM IS AN ADEQUATE PUNISHMENT FOR THOOSE PEOPLE.

ON CONTRAST THE SCANDINAVIANJUIDICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO ACHIVE THE VEST RESULTS. tHEY BELEIVE THAT NO HUMAN IS IN CHARGE OF LETTINGS OTHERS TO LIVE OR NOT. ACCORDING TO THEM THEM THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE JAIL IS TO REDEEM THE PERSON AND MAKE HIM ACCEPTABLE FOR THE SOCIETY. THEY HAVE CLASSROOMS JOBS AND FREE TIMES TO LEARN AND MASTER NEW SKILLS BEFORE BEING RELEASED TO FREEDOM AGAIN. YEARKY REPORTS FROM FROM FINNISH GOVERNMENT ILLUSTRATES THAT ONLY 3 PERCENT OF THE EX PRISIONERS COMMIT RECIDIVE CRIMES. MOST OFF THEM TRY TO LIVE THEIR LIVES WITHOUT EVER BREAKING THE LAWS AGAN. ANOTHER POINT COULD BE THAT THE SYSTEM IS NOT 100 PERCENT CORRECT AND SOMETIMES THE INNOCENT PERSON CAN FACE THE CNSEQUENCES OF SOMETHING HE NEVER COMMITED.

TO CONCLUDE, THE DEATH PENALTY IS NOT VIEWED AS A GUARANTEE FOR THE COMMUNITY SAFEINESS. HUMAN LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS FOR BEING HANDLED IN TO THE HAND OF ANYONE. IT RAISES SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITYOF THE EXECUTION BEING USED AS A POLITICIAL OL SYMBOLIC DEMONSTRATION OF POWER. AS LEGAL SYSTEMS AROUND THE GLOBE MAY BE DIFFERENT THERE WILL BE NOT AN UNANIOUMS ANSWER FOR ALL THIS CALLS
