Capital Punishment

Capital Punishment

Capital Punishment
Capital punishment is a legal infliction of the death penalty. Capital
punishment is obviously the most severe form of criminal punishment
(Encarta). Capital punishment is a highly controversial and emotional way of
dealing with violent criminals (Vila 25). The main alternative to the death
penalty is long-term or life imprisonment (Encarta). Capital punishment has
been around for thousands of years as a means of eradicating criminals. A
giant debate started between the people for or against the execution. The
earliest arguments both for and against capital punishment were taken
directly from the Bible (Vila 25). The supporters claim that if you take a
life you should pay with your life or an eye for an eye. The people against
the death penalty bring up a chance of sentencing the innocent and how the
death penalty is inhumane.
The first evidence of capital punishment was mentioned in the Code of
Hammurabi in 1750 B.C. (Encarta). The Bible mentions death as the penalty
for more than thirty different crimes. For example, “Whoever strikes a
man so that he dies shall be put to death,” is an example of murder
(Bible Exodus 21:12). The Bible also suggests stoning a woman for having sex
if not married and “wrought folly on Israel by playing the harlot in
her father’s house” (Bible
