Crime and the Death Penalty

Crime and the Death Penalty

For most crimes committed in the United States a fine, 
sentence of time in jail or execution is the punishment. However, the 
death penalty is the most questionable punishment. Is it morally 
right?  Is it effective in deterring crime, primarily murders? Weather 
or not you agree if it is moral or not, one issue remains. The death 
penalty is not an effective way to deter crime.

The death penalty has existed as long as humans have 
existed. The quote "an eye for an eye" is found in the Bible. In the 
middle ages fines, public humiliation and imprisonment were 
appropriate punishments for all crimes, and death penalty for all 
murders. Today, Federal law states that the death penalty is to be 
enforced with convicted criminals for: treason; deserting armed 
forces during wartime; murder committed by a soldier; kidnapping and 
murder that involves crossing state lines; murder committed during an 
airplane hijacking; and of course, homicide. The death penalty is 
also called for punishment of for: attempting to kill anyone 
investigating or prosecuting his or her activities; advising, 
directing, authorizing or assisting in the murder of someone. Also,
