capital punishment should be abolished in india?

Answer 1

Yes, it should be, if only for things like public kissing. d:)

However, as with Larry...I'm from Texas, we execute alot of murderers here every year.

Cantcu is right about the "an eye for an eye" quote. That is older than Jesus Christ by almost 3,000 years. It comes from Numbers and Deuteronomy, written 5,768(+) years ago by Moses.

Answer 2

In the USA we've found that its not an effective way to prevent or reduce crime and it risks executions of innocent people. Here is some of what we see about the system, with sources listed below.

Risks of executing innocent people. 124 people on death rows have been released with evidence of their innocence. DNA is available in less than 10% of all homicides and can't guarantee we won't execute innocent people.

The death penalty doesn't prevent others from committing murder. No reputable study shows the death penalty to be a deterrent. To be a deterrent a punishment must be sure and swift. The death penalty is neither. Homicide rates are higher in states and regions that have it than in states that don't.

We have a good alternative. Life without parole is now on the books in 48 states. It means what it says. It is sure, swift and rarely appealed. Life without parole is less expensive than the death penalty.

Death penalty costs. The death penalty costs much more than life in prison, mostly because of the legal process. When the death penalty is a possible sentence, extra costs mount up even before trial, continuing through the uniquely complicated trial in death penalty cases, and appeals.

The death penalty doesn't apply to people with money.
It isn’t reserved for the “worst of the worst,” but for defendants with the worst lawyers. When is the last time a wealthy person was sentenced to death, let alone executed??

The death penalty doesn't necessarily help families of murder victims. Murder victim family members across the country argue that the drawn-out death penalty process is painful for them and that life without parole is an appropriate alternative.

Problems with speeding up the process. Over 50 of the innocent people released from death row had already served over a decade. If the process is speeded up we are sure to execute an innocent person.

Answer 3

It should be abolished in the US. There is no excuse to kill another living human being for revenge! And by the way, Jesus Christ never said an eye for an eye, He said, turn the other cheek! Check out the Sermon on the Mount!
