Argument. Affirmative Group. Death Penalty.

”An eye for an eye” A quote from the bible. Only the guilty should be punished.

-Death penalty is the most fair penalty for taking someones life

-Death penalty is deterrent and perhaps it prevents the people from doing serious crimes (like murder) because they know that the penalty is harsh.

-If the criminals goes to jail they have the ability to do new crimes when they come out or if they escape from the prison. This happens a lot which is terrifying.

-Death penalty prevents the criminals to do further crimes because they are not alive.

-Death penalty shows how serious the society take serious crimes (like murder)

-As the golden rule sais ”Treat others the way you want to be treated” This is also a quote from the bible.

-The family and the people of the victim can feel calm if the criminal is dead because they can’t do any further crimes.

-The state spends a lot of money on the prisons and the criminals. If criminals got death penalty the amount of people in jail would reduce, then the state could spend more money on the investigation or on other important things like poorness and the people in need.

-Guilty people deserves to be punished in proportion to the severity of their crime
