capital punishment\u4e2d\u82f1\u6587

Capital punishment, the death penalty or execution, is the killing of a person by judicial process for retribution and incapacitation. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences. The term capital originates from Latin capitalis, literally "regarding the head" (Latin caput). Hence, a capital crime was originally one punished by the severing of the head.

Capital punishment has been practiced in virtually every society, excluding those with state religious proscriptions against it. It is a matter of active controversy in various states, and positions can vary within a single political ideology or cultural region. A major exception is in Europe, where Article 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union prohibits the practice.[1]

Today, most countries are considered by Amnesty International as abolitionists,[2] which allowed a vote on a resolution to the UN to promote the abolition of the death penalty.[3] But more than 60% of the worldwide population live in countries where executions take place in so far as the four most populous countries in the world (such as People's Republic of China, India, United States and Indonesia) apply the death penalty and are unlikely to abolish it soon.

Support for the death penalty varies. Both in abolitionist and retentionist democracies, the government's stance often has wide public support and receives little attention by politicians or the media. In some abolitionist countries, the majority of the public supports or has supported the death penalty. Abolition was often adopted due to political change, as when countries shifted from authoritarianism to democracy, or when it became an entry condition for the European Union. The United States is a notable exception: some states have had bans on capital punishment for decades (the earliest is Michigan, where it was abolished in 1846), while others actively use it today. The death penalty there remains a contentious issue which is hotly debated. Elsewhere, however, it is rare for the death penalty to be abolished as a result of an active public discussion of its merits.


Execution with a GarroteIn abolitionist countries, debate is sometimes revived by particularly brutal murders, though few countries have brought it back after abolishing it. However, a spike in serious, violent crimes, such as murders or terrorist attacks, has prompted some countries (such as Sri Lanka and Jamaica) to effectively end the moratorium on the death penalty. In retentionist countries, the debate is sometimes revived when a miscarriage of justice has occurred, though this tends to cause legislative efforts to improve the judicial process rather than to abolish the death penalty.

A Gallup International poll from 2000 claimed that "Worldwide support was expressed in favour of the death penalty, with just more than half (52%) indicating that they were in favour of this form of punishment." A number of other polls and studies have been done in recent years with various results

In the U.S., surveys have long shown a majority in favor of capital punishment. An ABC News survey in July 2006 found 65 percent in favour of capital punishment, consistent with other polling since 2000. About half the American public says the death penalty is not imposed frequently enough and 60 percent believe it is applied fairly, according to a Gallup poll from May 2006. Yet surveys also show the public is more divided when asked to choose between the death penalty and life without parole, or when dealing with juvenile offenders. Roughly six in 10 tell Gallup they do not believe capital punishment deters murder and majorities believe at least one innocent person has been executed in the past five years.

Whether the capital punishment should be abolished or not ?
Frankly speaking, at first I find it extremely cruel to forfeit someone’s right to live, most ingredients argue that every creature ,even the guilty ones should have the right to live. While on the second thought, I realize that the capital punishment is very essential ,for it play an important role in removing the most evil ones and deferring the potential criminal . more arguments for the capital punishment are as follows:
In the first place, as everybody can see, imposing capital punishment to the criminals who have committed a severe crime conforms to justice.
Secondly, it provides deterrence to the public ,meanwhile,brings closure to the victim’s families.
Thirdly, it serves as a tool which is incentive for helping the police. In addition, capital punishment can by some means make the criminal realize his guilty, thus leading to some forms of mental rehabilition.
As is known to all, a nation is sure to get into trouble if virtue is not rewarded and vice not punished. Most intelligents agree that everyone shall take responsibility for what they have done. In this way, each criminal should get what their crime deserves and in the case of a murder, what their crime deserves is death. It is the criminal himself rather than anyone else that forfeits his own right to live due to their extreme evil. Only by killing those who are guilty of the most atrocious crimes can we make sure that the society is peaceful. And only in this way can we calm down the public and make them free from panic.
Last but not least, well, my dear friends. imagine yourself to be the victim’s family,What would you feel if the guy who killed your father or other relatives still alive, enjoying his rest life? Would you still be able to stay calm, keep up your appearance, forgive him tolerately? It is a hard question, isn’t it?
