The pros of Capital Punishment
Capital Punishment, legal infliction of death as a penalty for violating criminal law.The argument in favor is based on justice and the nature of a moral community, which requires that each person respect the life, liberty and freedom of others. Those who commit vicious crimes destroy the basis on which a moral community rests and forfeits their rights to citizenship and even to life itself. Here are some reason's we feel that Capital Punishment should be enforced. The act of murder is the climax-result of previous thoughts and acts. Murder like all other crimes, is a crime against society. It is for this assult that the state infects punishment. The state is impersonal. If it is clear that a person is guilty beyond any doubt of murder, then that person should be sentenced to death. Judge Robert E. Crowe, prosecuter on the Leopold/Loeb trial states "I believe that society wishes to take the life of the murder because society does not wish to lose i's own. Crowe further state that to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment is an "unpardonable abuse" of executive clemency. Proponents against the death penalty allege that murderers are the criminals least likely to repeat their crimes.
