Should Death Penalty Be Abolished In Australia

605 Words3 Pages

The death penalty is a cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment, and Australia should not reinstate or bring back the death penalty for severe crimes. It is not fair for the innocent people. It is injustice for the innocence and using the death penalty on them is inappropriate because it is something you cannot undo. Wouldn’t it be safer to give them severe punishments instead of killing them? Some people are fighting for their lives in prison. Australia would be breaking the law of “do not kill” and it would only make more families losing members. Why should Australia being back the death penalty, when Australia took away the death penalty in the first place?

People who have been falsely accused have to be executed which is horrible just to think about. People who have been put in death sentences have been killed by lethal injection, electrocution, gas chamber, being hanged or by a firing squad. These are such horrible ways that no one deserves to be killed by. There are so many other ways that criminals can be punished. It is true and obvious that someone who has killed someone else should not be given another chance because it is inappropriate behaviour, but what about those who are innocent, the most you could do is give them extreme and severe punishments. They can be kept …show more content…

If you kill someone else, you have murdered someone. It doesn’t matter in any way you do it or who does it. If we punish murderers by the death penalty, doesn’t that mean we are only showing them, that the only solution is killing? What will happen to the law “Do not kill” even the government themselves are ignoring the law. How can people be following the law if the government don’t? Everyone should be following the law, including the government themselves. That’s just being a hypocrite. If Australia wanted to bring back the death penalty why did Australia take away the punishment in the first

    The Reintroduction of the Death Penalty into Australia The death penalty and capital punishment are a controversial issue all around the world. Many countries have abolished such punishments, including Australia, but there is still debate on whether the death penalty should be reinstated in Australia.

    Analyzing all this information on capital punishment, I would agree with this type of punishment to an extent. I do believe that there are some innocent people on death row, praying for another hearing. Although, I do think pedophiles and mass murderers should get capital punishment. This type of punishment should still be legal, what I do no agree is the types of death an offender gets. The firing squad and the execution process is unbearable and inhumane, although according to the Supreme Court it does not object to the

  • Analysis Of Just Mercy By Bryan Stevenson

    A question we need to ask ourselves and our judicial system is if we should be able to kill, and who deserves the power to make that decision? Throughout history in America, our judicial system has always used retributive justice as a way to condemn crime and give out punishment. Retributive justice is a system that focuses on punishing the offender rather than preventing and rehabilitating. This way of dealing with crime has only harmed the people involved and created more problems like poverty, and unjust cases, and makes it harder for convicts to live life in the future. The book ‘Just Mercy’ written by Bryan Stevenson covers these issues that thousands of Americans face, even today.

  • What Is The Death Penalty Effective

    The death penalty is still in “criminal law” of some of the countries and has a lot of opponents as well as I who think this punishment is not effective for the following reasons. First of all I believe this punishment violates the fundamental principles of human rights according to the United Nation’s Universal Declaration which says everyone has the right to life, liberty and security no matter what is their status, but unfortunately there is no prohibition against the death penalty in international law. There is no clue that the death penalty can reduce the crimes more than life imprisonment. It only can effects the pre-programmed crimes. So in the best case, the offender is aware of the legal consequences of his behavior.

Which should tell you that it is a wrongful punishment just because they made a mistake that they will regret their whole entire lives. Another thing is some people who have been put on death row have been executed and then looked closer at the case and found out that they had been accused for something they didn’t even do. And recently in the state of Nebraska they have found with the advancements in DNA testing that 17 prisons who were wrongly convicted on death row were set free.

    Killing another seems very unjustifiable, which might be the case but when someone takes another 's life and sent to prison, death row or capital punishment is needed to put that person were they belong. People like that deserve to die because of their mistake of killing another and it deters other people to not kill others, showing them what would happen. In the case of Capital Punishment, Hunting for Sport, or George and Lennie, killing is a justifiable act. In the case of capital punishment killing is justified and needs to be done. For example, “Some crimes are so inherently evil they demand strict penalties up to and including death”(McClatchy).

    I agree that the death penalty is inhumane and should be abolished; no one deserves to be killed, even those who have killed. However, I also feel that the death penalty solves nothing because all the government or state does is end the person’s life. This means they don’t get to learn from what they have done; they don’t receive punishment. It is better that the prisoner be sentenced to life so that they could ‘feel’ dead, but still have to live in a confined space for the rest of their lives, thinking about what got them there in the first place. That to me, is a real death penalty.
