In societies where crimes are rising rapidly, the death penalty can be used as a deterrent against criminal committing further crimes. Although, many people consider it to be harsh, it is the most effective method of reducing crime. To what extend do you agree with this statement?

Criminals are usually punished in different ways according to the crimes they have committed. They may be sent to a jail for several years or forever. However, it is not the only way of penalizing criminals. Some people think that death penalty is the best solution to decrease the number of illegal activities. On the other hand, there may be another way, instead of this harsh penalty.

Most people consider that Death penalty is very effective solution to reduce number of crimes! They think people see the consequences of committing a crime. They will afraid of doing illegal actions, for the result is the death. Usually, people who came out of a prison commit the same crimes, even if they know about death. They will not stop to break the law. In fact, some countries such as Singapore and the Middle East used Death penalty to reduce the rate of crimes related only to drugs, yet it means it is not the best solution. There are some other ways to decrease the number of illegal activities.

I mentioned above that in some countries it helped to reduce crime, but there are also countries which couldn’t reduce the number of crimes even if they use Death penalty. For instance, in some states of America that has death penalty, still have high crime rates. Poor people still commit crime to survive. It has been obvious that the main reason is the poverty.

Death penalty is not humane, nor can be the best solution. We have to find the solutions which fit/suit to humanitarian. For example, encourage poor families to get out of the cycle of poverty, local community projects to encourage teenagers to stay away from drugs, lectures about the result of crimes to pupils. On the other word, we must bring up the young people, because it is impossible to stop bad behavior when it has started. Criminals will not avoid breaking law even if they know that it will cause them to die.

To sum up, I think Death penalty is not good deterrent which leads to the life with low number of illegal activities. Instead, we can use more humane programs to reduce it.
