Well, sometimes innocent people gets sentenced for crimes they haven't committed. And if they've been killed there's no way to correct the mistake.
Also, criminals who face the death penalty are willing to just about anything to avoid getting caught, which is a danger to polemen and anyone else around when they're being hunted.
Last but not least having the death penalty doesn't do anything for lowering the crime rate, so it's a crude, scary thing to have - and it doesn't give a lot back.

∙ 13y agoIn the constitution there is a clause about cruel and unusual punishment as well in the 14th amendment that the government " can't deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without the due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Both of these things have been used against the use of the death penalty.

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".
