Background/Intro
Each year there are about 250 people added to death row and 35 executed.The death penalty is the harshest form of punishment enforced in the United Sates today.Once a jury has convicted a criminal offense they go to the second part of the trial,the punishment phase.If the jury recommends the death penalty and the judge agrees then the criminal will face some form of execution,lethal injection is the most common form used today.There was a period from 1972 to 1976 that capital punishment was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.Their reason for this decision was that the death penalty was cruel and unusual punishment under the eighth amendment.The decision was reversed when new methods of execution were introduced.
Capital punishment is a difficult issue and there are as many different opinions as there are people.In our project,both sides have been presented and argued with focus on several topics as listed below.This page was constructed to show the different opinions held by the members of our group.There is plenty of useful information within our work.We hope you find it helpful and informative.

My Idea about capital punishment
In the modern global community, the ideas of liberalism and democracy are widely accepted. People embrace freedom to an extent that has never been achieved throughout history. However, some countries go a little bit too far. The abolishment of capital punishment is just one example. These counties argue that no authority is entitled to deprive individuals of their right to live. Even those who commit felonies such as murder, rape and arson should be put in prison rather than on a guillotine. They believe their practice embodies humanism which goes well beyond the tit-for-tat juridical tradition that is passed down for generations. In my mind, however, death penalty should not be abolished, as long as there is a possibility of grave crimes in the world.
In the Chinese language, there is a proverb that goes like this: A merciful angel frightens no devil.(门神善了鬼不怕). The capital punishment is the last weapon that awes potential criminals. If there were no nuclear bombs, would China have felt at least apparently at ease at the militaristic menace posed by the USSR in early 1960s? Perhaps this is not an appropriate analogue, but China is a country which holds one fourths of the world population. Now our country is still not safe enough partly due to lack of policing. If the penalties are loosen, China will be in a mess, with so acute confrontational sentiments between the rich and poor and so uneven distribution of properties. Not only won’t our goals of a better-off society be achieved, but stability, our basis of national development will also be threatened.
I will have to mention the case of Singapore as well. We all know that a year ago an young Australian was executed there for carrying drugs. Singapore was thus widely criticized for its despotism by European and Australian presses. Given that the independence of justice of one nation should be respected if it does not defy international laws, we must know that Singapore is a key port. If the law is not strict enough, will this tiny country enjoy its peace and stability as we constantly admire?
You may say that both China and Singapore are oriental countries whose rulers are descendants of thousand-year-long feudal monarchies. We just shift our focus to the most liberal country, the United States. Do Americans say goodbye to death penalty? We safely come to a conclusion that it death penalty is not a case of tradition, but an earthy need indeed.
You may also argue that despite the abolishment of capital punishment the EU is still well-organized with no significant rise in crime rate. That is correct. I never deny that EU is safer than the US and China. But I would like to remind you of Milocevic’s death in Hague. Yes, even if he is convicted won’t he be killed at once, but he was left in a small room with no access to basic medical care. He died of heart attack. What a good death. The Europeans remove a pain in the ass without using a knife. Europeans treasure human rights. They tried Milocevic for his genocide of Croats. But note the Rwanda genocide.Which Tony Blair or Jacque Chirac grieved for the victims of Rwanda genocide? Where was the EU then? I find sheer dual standards. I find typical hypocrisy.
To accomplish humanity we have too many things to do, except the consideration of the abolishment of death penalty. Perhaps this is done one day in the future when China is more democratic and liberal. But now, we must stick to death penalty for the good of the majority of the citizens, not of the criminals.
