Crime rate has increased over the years, and to keep the citizens safe and well the government should enforce the law in many ways. Crime rates have increased 15% and have become more dangerous for the civilians of the USA. 40% of ex convicts are known to land back in jail after their release. This signifies that the criminals do not recognize their crimes, especially those who have injured and murdered many. People are continued to be injured, murdered, raped, assaulted, kidnapped, and robbed, would you feel safe in this type of environment?

Criminals of murderous incidents, killing, and injuring many innocent people cannot be easily forgiven. It is only fair that their lives be taken due to their unjust actions.

The enforcement of the law, the “uncruel” method of execution, and the safety of the innocent people should be promoted by allowing the death penalty of the 8th Amendment. The 8th Amendment states that no cruel and unusual punishments should take place, but execution is done under painless conditions. The death penalty is not to be taken easily, and does not happen frequently compared to the population of the whole country. It takes several years and even decades to prove the criminal’s wrongdoings and makes sure that the criminal is not innocent.

With the painless condition, the death penalty should not be considered “cruel” as prisoners are severely depressed in their cells. Many of the prisoners’ rights are already lost. Within prison, especially when facing a life long sentence, many of one’s rights are lost, therefore losing the right to life should not be frowned upon over every other pernicious action. The debate question asks whether or not the death penalty should be allowed under the 8th amendment. The 8th amendment states that “cruel” punishments are not to be inflicted upon prisoners. Therefore the syllogism suggests the answer to the debate question to be yes.

In October 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world. This can also prove that many innocent citizens are being harmed as well. The end to many murderous criminals will decrease the overall crime rate in America, and this can also enforce the law.

Frank Carrington states: No one will know if execution is suitable for the crime, but common sense claims that if the threat of the death penalty increases, the homicide rate will decrease. Today, the US is 5% of the World population and has 25% of world prisoners.

Would you also feel save in these kind of environments?
