The death penalty (also known as capital punishment) is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The judicial decree that someone be punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual process of killing the person is an execution.The Death Sentence has been a controversial issue since the beginning, and continues to grow as new arguments for and against it arise. Arguments made for the Death Penalty often have to do to do with giving closure to the victims of which the murderer or criminal at hand has caused harmed to. Arguments made against many times have to deal with one particular question: is it right to punish a criminal who has killed someone by killing them?
Personally, I believe that the Death Penalty is necessary to a certain extent. I believe that it will closure to those who have been affected, but also show the punishment that could placed on someone who thinks thinks about doing the same as the person executed. I don't believe, however, that it is right to just sentence someone to the death penalty because they committed a crime. I think it should only be issued as a punishment if someone. It's a hard debate because no matter the pros or cons the question still remains on whether it is right to solve a problem of killing by killing? Does it teach a lesson or is it just simply hypocritical?
