The main reason people do not support is this, that the judge could make a mistake and so could send someone to the gallows.It has happened in the past example in THE BRIDGEWATER CASE , four men were sent to jail for killing a paper boy, at the bridge they spent 19 years in jail , one of the four died in jil. After 19 years they were released.

Why death penalty is not good in civilized society?

Actually, opinions on this vary. But the tendency, nowadays, is that a majority of people think that the death penalty is uncivilized. Some arguments against the death penalty is that it is used disproportionately against ethnic minorities (for example, black people in the United States), and that it is irreversible (and there have been many cases where people executed, or people who were planned to be executed, turned out to be innocent). For further arguments, both for and against the death penalty, I suggest you consult the Wikipedia article on "Death penalty".

What are the arguments for the death penalty according to Pojman and Bright?

Pojman believes in the application of death penalty to include not only first degree murder but also treason, including the treasonous behavior of business execs who violate public trust. Since the death penalty is justified in principle, we should seek to improve its application rather than abolish a just institution.

Is the death penalty a good punishment for murder?

There are many arguments on both sides of the question, and I suspect that the side you come down on will depend as much on emotion and cultural background as on rationally weighing the facts. Given the incidence of murder in societies that have the death penalty, it is obviously not always a deterrent.


I am writing a research paper on the death penalty I just need a thesis statement for or against the death penalty any ideas and which would be easier to right on against or for it?

A compelling thesis statement against the death penalty could be: "The death penalty is an ineffective deterrent to crime, often applied unfairly and disproportionately, and poses a significant risk of wrongful execution, making it a morally and ethically indefensible practice." Writing against the death penalty might be easier, as there are numerous studies and arguments highlighting its flaws, including issues of justice, human rights, and the potential for mistakes in the judicial system.
