CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Capital Punishment prevents murder, and is an acceptable revenge. Capital punishment is the execution of criminals by the state for committing crimes so harsh that this is the only acceptable punishment. Capital Punishment does not only lower the murder rate, but because of its revenge on offenders, it is a good way of preventing potential murders. Support for the death penalty in the U.S. has risen to an average of 80% according to …showed first 75 words of 624 total…

The death penalty makes potential crime breakers think about whether committing a crime of such harshness is really worth their lives. Even if capital punishment does not prevent crime, it insures peace of mind that the murderers will never kill again and allows society and family to get even with the murderers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
