CAPITAL PUNISHMENT THE DEATH PENALTY Basic reasons: pro and anti Click below to visit our sponsors. Common reasons in support of capital punishment The Bible The Bible requires the death penalty for a wide variety of crimes, including sex before marriage, adultery, homosexual behavior, doing work on Saturday and murder. It even calls for some criminals (e.g. prostitutes who are the daughters of priests) to be tortured to death by being burned alive. Most Christians, with the exception of those in the Reconstructionist movement , feel that many of these grounds for the death penalty no longer apply to Christian societies. U.S. However, Bible passages are still used to promote the retention of capital punishment for murderers; some advocate that homosexuals also be executed. Justice/Vengeance Many people feel that killing convicted murderers will satisfy their need for justice and/or vengeance. They feel that certain crimes are so heinous that executing the criminal is the only reasonable response. Deterrence Many people feel that the death penalty will deter criminals from killing. This does not seem to be confirmed by an analysis of the available data. However, it feels intuitively correct for many people.

All RSS Feeds The Paradoxes of a Death Penalty Stance By Charles Lane Saturday, June 4, 2005; Page A17 In the debate between Europe and the United States over the death penalty, no country is more vocal than Germany. German media regularly decry executions in Texas. A recent U.S. Supreme Court case concerning the rights, under international law, of foreign defendants in capital cases grew in part out of a German lawsuit before the World Court on behalf of two German citizens on death row in Arizona. (The Supreme Court dismissed the case on May 23 for technical reasons.) German objections to capital punishment slowed Berlin's cooperation with the U.S. prosecution of alleged al Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui, who faces the possibility of the death penalty though the two countries eventually worked out an agreement. Contrasting their nation's policy with that of the Americans, Germans point proudly to Article 102 of their Basic Law, adopted in 1949. It reads, simply: "The death penalty is abolished." They often say that this 56-year-old provision shows how thoroughly the postwar Federal Republic has learned and applied the lessons of Nazi state-sponsored killing. (Communist East Germany kept the death penalty until 1987.)

The law was not changed by presidential decree. Then-President Francois Mitterrand, who had pledged during his campaign to end executions, drafted legislation soon after taking office. It was then approved by his Cabinet and later the National Assembly, where Mitterrand's supporters were newly in control. Why Japan Still Has the Death Penalty By Charles Lane Sunday, January 16, 2005; Page B01 There is a place in the advanced industrial world where people are regularly sentenced to death, and executed, for their crimes. Some of the condemned deny their guilt and there are confirmed cases of mistakes in sentencing. But government officials say the system delivers retribution and deterrence fairly and efficiently. This place is not Texas. It is Japan the only industrial democracy other than our own that still regularly executes convicted murderers. In 2004, the Japanese conducted two executions by hanging, the sole method employed there. In some years, the rate is double or triple that. This is nowhere near the rate in the United States, where 59 convicted murderers were put to death in 2004. But there are many more murders in the United States than in Japan, and our population is 295 million people compared to Japan's 127 million. When you adjust for those facts, Japan has recently been about as likely as Texas and Virginia to sentence killers to death.

This week, more than 65 American religious leaders asked President Bush not to execute McVeigh and to impose a moratorium on all Federal executions. Leaders of the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church USA, the United Church of Christ, Catholics Against Capital Punishment, the Quakers, and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations signed a letter stating the pain of McVeigh's victims, of their community, and of the nation "cannot be healed through the retribution of capital punishment or by vengeance." Last week, speaking for the U.S. Catholic Bishops, Cardinals Roger Mahony of Los Angeles and William Keeler of Baltimore reiterated the Catholic Church's longtime opposition to capital punishment, saying executing McVeigh will not bring healing or closure. Rather, the Cardinals said, "it will be just one more killing." At the same time, many religious leaders support McVeigh's execution. Today, we have a special report on the capital punishment debate among people of faith. Our correspondent Tim O'Brien talked with two ministers in the same denomination, the First Christian Church [Disciples of Christ].

Some jurisdictions that practice capital punishment restrict its use to a small number of criminal offences, principally treason and murder . Prisoners who have been sentenced to death are usually kept segregated from other prisoners in a special part of the prison pending their execution. In some places this segregated area is known as " death row Historically—and still today under certain systems of law—the death penalty was applied to a wider range of offences, including robbery or theft . It has also been frequently used by the military for crimes including looting insubordination , and mutiny The term "capital" derives from the Latin caput , meaning "head".

There are many people who feel exactly that way about the Federal Government, just ask Mr. McViegh, and some of the people from Waco, Texas. Also, I wonder how is it fair? And to whom? First, the deceased has a family, perhaps dependents, and these are left harmed and unhelped for the most part. There is no restitution by the killer. And the innocents who have lost a loved one must also bear their trauma and suffer its exacerbation through a trial and dealing with lawyers for God's sake. Then there are the dependents and family of the killer who have losses through no fault of their own. The victims pay, the society pays, the friends and family of the killer pays. The killer simply leaves this "veil of sorrow." So where is the equity in that arrangement?

In that year, the death penalty was used in 37 states and the federal prison system, but just two states accounted for half of the executions that took place Texas (35) and Virginia (14). Most executions performed (94) were by lethal injection. Internationally, the United States is one of the leaders in the use of the death penalty. According to Amnesty International, China led all nations internationally in 1998 with 1,700 executions. Over 100 were executed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 68 were executed in the United States, and 66 were executed in Iran. These four nations accounted for 86 percent of all executions recorded by Amnesty International that year. Use of death penalty in the United States dates back to colonial times, with the first recorded execution taking place in Jamestown in 1608. Although its use has always varied from state to state, it was practiced regularly throughout most of our history until 1967, when a temporary ban was instituted while the Supreme Court reviewed its constitutionality.

Contact Search Search Site Search Initiative Articles Reappraising Death: The New Debate over Capital Punishment OSI Tanya E. Coke Ideas for an Open Society June 21, 2002 During a half-century of extraordinary social change, few issues have seemed as intractable as the death penalty. Mired in a conflicting set of Biblical imperatives, the debate generally pitted the idea of mercy versus that of “just deserts” in a contest of moral absolutes. At least since the 1988 presidential debates, most often the discussion came grinding to a halt with some variation of the Bernie Shaw-to-Michael Dukakis question: “But what if your wife were brutally murdered?” One measure of the death penalty’s signifying power was that, by the early 1990s, the issue had become thoroughly non-partisan, as Democrats began using it to outflank Republicans on crime. In 1992, Bill Clinton took a well-publicized detour from his presidential campaign to preside over the execution in Arkansas of Ricky Ray Rector, a black man with severe brain damage. Yet a remarkable shift has occurred in the public and political climate. George Ryan, Republican governor of Illinois, declared a moratorium on executions last year. A few months later, New Hampshire voted to repeal its death penalty statute, only to have its Democratic governor, Jeanne Shaheen, veto the legislation. This year, every one of the 38 death penalty states but Kansas introduced bills to reform or curtail capital punishment. Texas and Florida—two states at the buckle of the “death belt”—actually passed legislation barring executions of the mentally retarded (though Gov. Rick Perry vetoed the Texas bill). Polls show public support for capital punishment at its lowest point in 20 years, with a majority of American voters favoring a temporary halt to executions while the issue receives further study, and substantial numbers amenable to replacing the death penalty with life in prison without parole.

Word Count: 1436 Page Count: 6 Capital Punishment Capital Punishment After centuries of nearly universal implementation, the death penalty remains a deeply debated political issue. While one execution takes place, other murders occur, and the question still stands: Will the death penalty safeguard society and deter murder, or will it not? The death penalty cannot be considered a proper economical and moral means of punishment to deter those who might commit capital offenses, or can it? In the past, capital punishment horrified people, which deterred them from committing crime. In England, the country from which the United States adopted the death penalty, the death penalty was imposed for a rather large number of offenses in an effort to discourage people from committing crimes.

Guest Editorial Death and the West: Capital Punishment from a Western Perspective By Emily Monroy In the last few years we have heard a great deal about capital punishment. First there was the death by lethal injection of convicted murderer Karla Faye Tucker in Texas in 1998. Her execution was followed three years later by that of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh an event that may have come as a Pyrrhic victory to some death penalty proponents, as McVeigh himself stated he preferred to die rather than spend the rest of his life in prison. Later that year the question arose as to whether Andrea Yates, a Texas woman who drowned her five children in a bathtub, should be put to death (she was instead sentenced to life in prison in March of 2002). What was often mentioned throughout the reporting of these incidents and the debate they sparked was that the United States is one of the only Western countries that still executes its citizens. At this point every nation in Western European has abolished the death penalty, as have Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most of Latin America. In my essay "Is the West the Best?"
