Capital punishment
Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is the execution of criminals convicted of capital crimes by the state. It has been used throughout history as punishment for serious offenses like murder. While many nations have abolished it, some still practice capital punishment for certain crimes. There are moral, practical, and legal arguments both for and against its use. Supporters argue it deters serious crimes and ensures justice, while opponents argue it is an unreliable and inhumane violation of a basic right to life. The morality of the practice is widely debated around issues of fairness, error, and the sanctity of human life.

Capital Punishment
Capital punishment refers to the execution of individuals convicted of capital crimes by the state. Historically, methods like hanging, beheading, and firing squad were used more frequently up until the 1950s-60s when support began declining. The 1973 Furman v. Georgia Supreme Court case found the death penalty to constitute "cruel and unusual punishment." Today, debates continue around the morality and constitutionality of capital punishment, with arguments on both sides. While some states have abolished it, others like Florida maintain among the highest execution rates, usually by means of lethal injection. Going forward, the author hopes people will recognize the death penalty as immoral given risks of irreversible mistakes.
Capital punishment
1) Capital punishment has been deemed an appropriate sanction for extreme crimes that grievously affront humanity.
2) Studies show reductions in murder rates correlated with increased use of the death penalty. For example, Texas saw a 60% drop in its murder rate after increasing executions.
3) Some argue the death penalty deters crime by ensuring would-be criminals understand the full consequences of their actions. A murderer admitted he shot a victim because "he knew he wouldn’t go to the chair."
Death Penalty
The document discusses several arguments against the death penalty:
1) It costs significantly more than life imprisonment due to lengthy appeals processes that can last decades.
2) It is considered by some to be a cruel and unusual punishment that violates the 8th amendment.
3) The extensive appeals clog up the court system and use resources that could go towards other cases.
Death penalty
The document discusses four important issues regarding the death penalty and its effectiveness as a deterrent for crime. It examines whether crime rates are higher in countries without the death penalty, if executions can influence others' behavior, the possibility of wrongful convictions, and if governments committing executions can be considered murderers. Data presented shows that murder rates have consistently been lower in US states without the death penalty compared to those with it, calling into question whether the death penalty successfully deters criminal acts.
FMDH - Death Penalty is NOT a Common Value of Asia : LIN Hsinyi
The document discusses facts about the death penalty in Asia. It notes that 16 of the 23 countries that carried out executions in 2013 are located in Asia, where 80% of global executions take place. While 25 Asian countries retain the death penalty, 31 have abolished or restricted its use. A public opinion survey in Taiwan found initial support for the death penalty was around 85-88% but dropped to 82% when the question was asked later, indicating issues may not be clear cut. The document concludes the death penalty is not a common value across Asia and calls for education on alternatives like life imprisonment.

The document discusses Ted Bundy, a serial killer who was executed in Florida's electric chair in 1989 for murdering 23 women. It then presents arguments for and against the death penalty. Pros of the death penalty include it deterring other would-be criminals and punishing criminals for their acts. Cons argue it is cruel punishment prohibited by the US Constitution, is applied inconsistently and against minorities, and has led to innocent people being wrongly executed. The document concludes by questioning whether the death penalty will solve problems or kill innocent people if kept in the future.

Death penalty
The document discusses the history of the death penalty in the Philippines, including:
- The 1987 constitution abolished capital punishment and commuted over 500 death sentences from martial law.
- In 1992, President Ramos wanted to restore the death penalty but Congress did not take action.
- In 1996, lethal injection was mandated for death sentences and the first execution by this method occurred in 1999.
- In 2000, President Arroyo signed legislation again abolishing the death penalty.
The Philippine During Martial law years
During Martial Law years in the Philippines, President Ferdinand Marcos initially ruled effectively during his first term from 1965-1969, increasing infrastructure development and modernizing the military. However, growing unrest due to a communist insurgency, student protests, and rising crime led Marcos to declare Martial Law in 1972, suspending civil liberties. Martial Law allowed Marcos to rule by decree and arrest opponents until 1981, though economic troubles emerged in its later years as foreign debt mounted and cronyism impacted industries. Martial Law was formally lifted in January 1981 ahead of the country's first election in over a decade.
