    Death Penalty

    My cousin’s classmate was just seven years old when her step-dad raped and tortured

    her. She died after receiving hundreds of bruises and complications inside her body. She would

    have been eighteen years old this year, she never attended high school nor college, and she didn’t

    even see what the real world was. To lessen the rate of heinous crimes, we should not think about

    the severity of the punishment but the welfare of the victims and innocents. The death penalty

    should get implicated.

    According to the survey of Our World in Data, there are approximately more than

    400,000 people die from homicide each year while 250,000 cases of rape or attempted rape were

    recorded annually. In all of these cases, some remained unsolved. To prevent the increase of

    heinous crime rates, we need to instil fear in the criminals. Criminals who commit violent crimes

    such as rape, murder, and genocide deserve a very harsh punishment. Giving the criminals who

    commit heinous crimes a death sentence will stop them from doing it again.

    What we should prioritize is the welfare of the victims or the innocent, not the barbarity

    of the punishment. For instance, in a rape case scenario, the assaulter will have all the reasons to

    kill the victim after committing rape. If the victim survived, there is no guarantee that her

    assaulter will get punished. According to Doctor Tyffani Dent, a psychologist from Cleveland,

    "rape victims may not be the same again!” She said that the anxiety and depression the victims

    will get after experiencing a horrible crime are unexplainable. Consider the trauma and the social

    stigma it would give to the victims.

    Faith in the law will only get restored if there is a deterrent to those committing an evil

    act. The punishment should fit the crime. Individuals are less likely to commit violent crimes,

    including murder and rape, if they know they will face punishment by execution. If someone

    murders someone else, they have already given up their human rights, including staying alive

    themselves. The death penalty for committing horrible and evil acts doesn’t mean that all the

    accused will be sentenced to death, considering that there will always be the long due process of

    law.

    Sentencing criminals to death would be able to reduce crimes including rape and murders

    more effectively. The criminals need to suffer for what they did and we should give them the

    taste of their own medicine. Let’s not wait for things to get worse before we do something about

    it. Many people suffer from this problem don’t wait for it to happen to you before you act on it.

    The death penalty should be made legal.
