Capital punishment, or the death penalty, can serve as a warning to deter people from committing heinous crimes. It probably does dissuade some people from murdering, but not in every case. Some people see all forms of capital punishment as inhumane, while some think that some are more humane than others. It can provide closure to the grieving families of murder victims, but it causes further agony for the innocent families of the perpetrator.

∙ 9y agoAn argument in favor of capital punishment may claim that the person should suffer the same fate that delivered to their victim. An argument against capital punishment may state that the person is a human being and the government shouldn't do the same thing that they did to another.

What is pojman best bet argument?
It is an argument in support of the death penalty sentence. The Best Bet Argument for the death penalty states that though we are not 100% sure that it (the death penalty) will deter or prevent future murders/crimes, we assume that as a fear for this maximum punishment, it will deter future crimes. Criminals will fear the idea of the death penalty and will therefore not commit murders.
Which amendment challenges the death penalty?
No amendment "challenges" the death penalty. The 8th Amendment has been used as a legal basis for challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty. The argument is that the 8th Amendment prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment" and that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment and therefore is prohibited by the US Constitution. This argument was successful in earlier cases, not because the death penalty itself was cruel and unusual but because of the way it was administered. The death penalty is allowed if it is administered without racial or ethnic bias and in a non-cruel manner.
