Setting aside that dubious claim, death penalty will refrain people from committing crimes
You know, I'm not in favor of death penalty because allowing death penalty is against the church or Bible
No, According to the research, there is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than a prison term.
They just giving justice for their love-ones. If you kill someone else, don’t you deserve to die, too an eye for an eye?
Isn’t it better to execute someone than to lock them up forever?
No. Executing someone because they’ve taken someone’s life is revenge, not justice
Every day, men, women, even children, awaits execution on death row.

They do. Those who have lost loved ones in terrible crimes have a right to see the person responsible held to account in a fair trial without recourse to the death penalty." "Revenge is not the answer. The answer lies in reducing violence, not causing more death.

The death penalty is discriminatory. It is often used against the most vulnerable in society, including the poor, ethnic and religious minorities, and people with mental disabilities. Some governments use it to silence their opponents. Where justice systems are flawed and unfair trials rife, the risk of executing an innocent person is ever present.When the death penalty is carried out, it is final. Mistakes that are made cannot be unmade. An innocent person may be released from prison for a crime they did not commit, but an execution can never be reversed.
