Introduction:
Capital punishment
Every society in the world has a
criminal offender. These people cause terror in the society and most are a
menace. Local authorities are given the mandate to ensure such individuals are
removed from the society by confining them in jail. Different offences attract
different crimes. Minor offences attract between six months to two years in
prison while major ones can attract between ten to twenty years. There are
however, very serious crimes that send people for life imprisonment or even
capital punishment. Capital punishment has attracted a lot of debate in many
countries of the world. This has seen its abolition in some countries; others
are debating whether to do away with it while others still maintain its use.
This paper is going to look at whether capital punishment should be abolished
in United States of America.
