Poverty causes crime, and if you don't abolish poverty, there will always be new criminals driven to crime

yes, the same applies is doing the commission of a crime one of the criminal get killed the other can also be charge with his death.\nThe innocent bystanders wasn't doing anything so they will have a case

If you get convicted, you probably will.

Because apparently public execution is distasteful, so we have to lock em away and crowd the prisons.  I bet if we televised someone getting executed, there'd be a lot less repeat offenders.

There are criminals who have committed seriously violent crimes who are deemed menaces to society. The object of prison is not only to punish, but to rehabilitate inmates. If an inmate is unable to be rehabilitated, there are two options: life imprisonment without parole, or the death penalty. It is very expensive to legally place someone on death row, It's not as though they are dragged out of court and immediately shot after 1 trial. Defendants are given every opportunity to cast doubt on their guilt, it has not always been this way. In some parts of the world, unfair trials are followed by immediate execution. \nThe death penalty may not be a good deterrent for violent crime but it is a fitting penalty for some and criminals are treated relatively well considering their treatment of the victims of their crimes.

As long as the guns aren't stolen. But if you use them to murder police officers, they won't be living long.

The death penalty will never be introduced and this stance should stay that way.  People have told me you can still be executed for treason... this is not the case. \n\nThe main reason is no mater what people do, there will always be some corrupt individuals who will not adhere to the procedures of a fair hearing/trial.  This will inevitably cause a miscarriage of justice.\n\nIt is a total myth that the death penalty reduces crime.  What I would say is if a person is determined to kill they will.  If they face the death penalty, one may think, kill as many people as the punishment is the same.\n \nI quote the Indian congressman Ghandi “An eye for an eye, soon the whole world is blind”.

The Murderer that is being executed.  It's a consequence of his crime.

Yes serial killers and others should be put to death as fast as possible. I think that if everyone  knew that if they killed someone and were convicited that they would suffer the same faith, death that there would be a whole lot less murder in our society. I think people would think twice before killling someone if they knew they would die.

Once a murderer is executed, they WILL NEVER hurt anyone ever again. No possibility of escape.  The death penalty give the victim's family peace of mind.  It's hard to think that the murderer is still alive when your loved one is dead because of that monster.

Execution is complete upon the death of the inmate. Thus a doctor is always there to confirm death before the inmate is removed from the execution chamber/place of execution, be it from hanging, lethal injection, firing squad and.. need I mention beheading? :)\nIf by a miracle, the inmate should come back to life after and despite all that, then I supposed he should be set free.. technically that is. The rationale being that he had served his sentence.. executed and pronounced dead.\nHe couldn't therefore be sentenced again for no man could be punished twice for the same offence and I believe its what we call 'double jeopardy'.\nTherefore, if you die and live after being executed... you are a free man... but is there such a chance? :)

Absolutely.  There are only certain crimes that carry the death penalty and there are a number of reviews that take place before an execution takes place.  Once the person has been found guilty and the reviews have taken place, the punishment fits the crime.

I believe that it's a pre-set sentence according to what you did.  Kidnapping will always get 30 years, murder always get the death penelty, rape always gets 30 years.

Assuming I still had air to breathe ... first I would go kill every criminal because there would be no repercussions because no one would know I did it.  Of course, that might be difficult if I had no vehicle/airplane/pilot to transport me.  Assuming I had a vehicle/airplane/pilot I would also travel all over the world and see the sights for free.  Hmm ... this is a difficult question.  There wouldn't be much left to do after that.

Yes.\n\nIf you execute a murderer he will NEVER escape.  He will NEVER hurt anyone else.  And it helps the victim's family heal.  The thought that a murderer is still alive grates on the minds and heartsof the families of the victims.  And there is something that is inherently just about executing a murderer, because the victim will NEVER have another birthday, will NEVER have another holiday with their families.\n\nSome crimes are so vile that the only punishment can be death.

For as long as there have been criminals. I believe the first was Cain.

After he gets his fair trial he will most assuredly be executed.  The trial is something he did not give to others that he put to death, however the least we can do is show the world that he can get better treatment than those he dealt with.
