Death penalty would not have a deterring effect on people which has been observed in studies that have been conducted. Criminals who are serial killers need psychological attention and death penalty does not act as a deterrent because they do not even think nor care about getting executed. Similarly as it was seen, countries which do award death penalties have a high rate of homicide than those which do not award death penalty. Hence death penalty does not discourage a person from committing a crime.

People commit crime under certain circumstances. While one might end up killing a person in self defense, the other might do the same for psychological reasons. Killing another in self defense is not something wrong nor can any law sentence one to death for doing that. What circumstances can make a person eligible for death role is what is important and who are we to decide these? Circumstances change an action from being bad to good and to define such circumstances is difficult because the authorities never experienced the circumstances which led to or in which the crime was committed.
