Life is sacred.

This is an ideal that the majority of people can agree upon to a certain
extent as taking the life of another has always been considered the most deplorable of crimes,
one worthy of the harshest available punishment. Thus arises one of the great moral dilemmas
of our time. Although capital punishment has its advantages, should taking the life of one
who has taken the life of others be considered an available punishment? We believe that the
death penalty is a must as it satisfies the principle of An eye for an eye, and is as close to
justice for murder victims as we can get.
To support that death punishment brings advantages, in the article by David B
Mulhausen, corporal punishment is exhibit as to connect with the diminishing measure of
homicide rates that had been demonstrated by research on panel data methods. The late
studies by utilizing panel data techniques have affirmed that capital punishment has more
grounded obstruction impact which demonstrates that capital punishment can spare lives.
Most of the research shows that every execution can bring into few lessening on numbers of
murder as it shows possible danger on apprehension for wrongdoing dissuades people from
perpetrating wrongdoing. There are additionally a few suppositions which underpin the
possibility that capital punishment ought to be the force. He likewise included that there is a
feeble contention to demonstrate there is a racial segregation in forcing the execution to
occur. He additionally called attention to that RAND Corporation examines demonstrated that
choice of the court to force capital punishment are impacted by the considerable of the
wrongdoing instead of by races.
Moreover, in the article the death penalty on deterrent effects& capital cost by Jeffey
A Fagan, additionally bolsters capital punishment can spare lives by discouraging homicides.
Additionally, one of exploration examines demonstrates that executions hinders murders as
well as expansion the hindrance impacts of different disciplines, for example, required the
least punishment for medication and from recent research on deterrence that very persuasive
among scholar that death penalty stops slaughtering. The research shows that despite the fact
that those against can contend however investigate give a solid contribution to decades, new
discouragement concentrates shy of a high logical bar as they neglect to represent life
sentences without any opportunity to appeal.
Based on the article titled Capital Punishment: Deterrent Effects and Capital Costs:
by Jeffrey A. Fagan, Professor of Law and Public Health Co-Director. There are few reasons
why capital punishment is opposed by many despite having great effects towards the world.

The effects of deterrence are in doubt when different research methods are applied as
new deterrence studies fall well short of the scientific bar as most studies failed to consider
incarceration rates or life sentences causes that may decrease crime rates through deterrence.
A study does so find execution has no effect as well as a significant effect of prison status on
crime rates and a majority of studies also failed to account for complex social factors, in
order to predict fluctuation in murder rates over time. Hence, most of the studies lack
consideration towards other factors that might affect the murder rates and are, therefore, quite
unreliable. The argument that the death penalty deters is not supported by sufficient scientific
studies as in the article, Death Penalty Losing Appeal by Shad Saleem Faruqi. This is
especially in relation to murder, which is often a crime in the heat of the moment when
consequences are farthest from contemplation.
Furthermore, according to Jeffrey, death penalty requires a very high cost. The death
penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the Constitution requires a
long and complex judicial process for capital cases. Besides that, based on the article by Shad
Saleem Faruqi, he said that in part of the judicial system of Malaysia, the court has no choice
but to impose the death penalty to the convince because of how the law is drafted. The death
penalty sentences are also indirect interference with judicial independences as the right of the
judge to decide the penalty to suit the crime and many judges personally have spoken with
remorse of the death sentences they had to impose even though there were circumstances
where offences seem less serious. He also said in his article that the risk of executing the
innocent can never be eliminated when the death penalty is maintained as there is
overwhelming evidence supporting it. After that, there is discrimination that applying the
death sentences on the defendants. This is shown by David B. Muhlhausen, Ph.D, Research
Fellow in Empirical Policy Analysis, Center for Data Analysis in his article, The Death
Penalty Deters Crime and Saves. However, there is little evidence accurately state that such
difference exist in the federal system that there is likely for minority to more in convicted in
execution.
In our opinion, capital punishment should be applied by the court as punishment for
serious crime. Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism support death penalty as
a punishment to deter crime and as a reminder to the others to avoid the wrongdoing, it was
further elaborated in every religion that serious crime must be penalised with capital
punishment. Death penalty in religions were described in Leviticus 24:17-22 where the Bible
mentioned that anyone who has convicted murder shall be punish by murder. Dharmastras

and the Arthasastra of the Hindu teachings also described that the punishments and calls for
the death penalty include murder and righteous warfare and Islam in verse 5:32 of the Quran
illustrates that murder, adultery, rape, and homosexual behaviour are offences for capital
punishment. Capital punishment is a must as it gives a lesson for others to adapt and to avoid
any form of wrongdoings. According to StatisticsBrain, United Arab Emirates who
implemented sharia law of capital punishment are the top 5 safest countries to live in the
world.
In conclusion, the death penalty is needed in order to prevent serious crime as it
gives a lesson that is deeply embedded in the minds of the citizens so that no sane person
would dare to commit a crime and gives people awareness of what exactly is right and wrong,
legal and illegal.
