The document provides three arguments in favor of the death penalty: 1) It is a more humane form of punishment than life imprisonment, which subjects prisoners to unending suffering. 2) Life imprisonment does not always guarantee that a criminal will remain in prison for life, as some prisoners have received pardons or had their sentences reduced. 3) Some criminals, even in prison, remain a threat to society through their influence and ability to continue criminal operations from behind bars. The death penalty is the only way to fully remove this threat.

The document discusses several arguments against capital punishment, including that it does not effectively deter crime, it makes the state murderers and convicts victims, and it is a waste of human life. It argues that we must reform our justice system and abolish barbaric practices like the death penalty. The document also notes that some death row inmates have been exonerated, calling into question how many executed individuals may have been innocent. It concludes that money fuels the system of capital punishment despite life imprisonment being less costly.Cover

Ketema Ross brutally beat his elderly neighbors with a broom handle in 2007, believing he was acting on orders from the president and CIA to stop a terrorist attack. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent seven years in a high security mental hospital. Most people with mental illness who commit crimes spend much longer incarcerated than if they had committed the same crime with criminal intent. Society understands punishment but does not understand mental illness, making it difficult for those found not guilty by reason of insanity to receive fair treatment.Capital Punishment: Doctrine of Torture and Kill

1) The document discusses the debate around capital punishment in the U.S., outlining arguments from both proponents and opponents.
2) Proponents argue that capital punishment deters crimes, is a just punishment for severe crimes like murder, and prevents criminals from committing additional crimes. Opponents argue it risks executing innocent people and is unfairly applied, often in a racially discriminatory manner.
3) The document also notes the high financial costs of the death penalty system compared to life imprisonment without parole as an argument against capital punishment.Gold Scam

The author criticizes a man who defrauded American citizens of $30 million through a business. While the man apologized, the author argues his apologies were only for himself and to try to receive a lighter sentence. The author questions why the man does not return the wealth he accrued through fraud. They also question why people would invest large sums of money with strangers over the phone without doing proper research, noting that if an investment seems too good to be true it probably is not legitimate.Peter hitchens oct 2012

The author critiques Peter Hitchens' support for the death penalty, asserting that research on its deterrent effect is inconclusive and that effective crime reduction lies in changing offenders' beliefs about being caught. Drawing on twenty-three years of experience in the prison system, the author argues that most offenders do not foresee the consequences of their actions, and suggests that enhancing the likelihood of arrest could deter crime. The author proposes recording DNA from all adults as a potential method to increase apprehension rates, despite concerns over civil liberties.Capital punishment

The document discusses capital punishment as a legitimate legal penalty, outlining its historical methods and modern applications, and debates its moral implications in light of human rights. It argues that while capital punishment raises concerns about torture, it is justified for severe offenses like homicide and terrorism under certain legal frameworks. Additionally, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) is referenced in relation to the conditions under which capital punishment can be considered appropriate, maintaining a distinction between severe crimes and the right to life.Murder

This document discusses the legal definition and elements of the offense of murder in the UK. It defines murder as an "unlawful killing" with "malice aforethought," which can be expressed as an intention to kill or cause serious harm. It explains the developments around the concept of "oblique intent" and distinguishes between "express malice" and "implied malice." Key court cases such as Moloney, Nedrick, and Woollin are referenced in relation to how foresight of consequences can be used as evidence of intent. The document also briefly mentions the partial defense of provocation and law reforms around the year and a day rule.Synopsis of crime drama

The document discusses Michel Foucault and Erving Goffman's perspectives on delinquency and stigma. Foucault defined delinquency and explored its origins but did not address the stigma faced after leaving prison. Goffman explored how the delinquent faces a discrediting stigma that disqualifies them from acceptance. The document gives an example of an ex-convict unable to find work due to stigma, which led to recidivism. While Foucault focused on rehabilitation, Goffman showed how stigma continues to affect reintegrating individuals. Their views differed on the idea of a "normal" standard, with Goffman arguing there is no standard and everyone deviates to someAgainst death penalty

The document argues against the death penalty for three main reasons:
1) Many innocent people have been executed, as evidenced by over 130 people released from death row after being wrongly convicted of murder. Once carried out, the death penalty cannot be reversed if new evidence is later found.
2) The death penalty process and appeals system is very long and expensive, often lasting over 25 years and costing over $1 billion more than life imprisonment without parole.
3) The death penalty is inhumane and violates human rights, as no person or legal system has the right to end another human life.Death penalty final rationel - Tran Huu Minh Quan - 11BSM4

This document discusses arguments for and against the death penalty. It argues that the death penalty should be abolished for several reasons. It does not effectively deter crime, as murder rates are higher in countries that have the death penalty compared to those that do not. It is also against morality to kill someone as punishment. The process of appealing a death sentence is very long and costly, with taxpayers spending millions of dollars to execute very few people. There is also a risk of putting innocent people to death due to flaws in the justice system. Life imprisonment is a better alternative as it allows criminals to learn from their mistakes and potentially be rehabilitated.Death Penalty final rationel - Tran Huu Minh Quan - 11BSM4

1) Terrorism targets powerful individuals to philosophically "cannibalize" their power and force a reexamination of a government's policies.
2) Globalization and the transitional nature of power and groups causes tensions that can lead to terrorism as normative acts come into conflict with hegemonic views of democracy.
3) The paradox for countries like the US is how to project strength abroad while addressing poverty and failing to reduce it due to a lack of moral obligation from partner governments.President and Congress1

It is not unconstitutional for Congress to authorize the death penalty for drug trafficking offenses that are considered "crimes against the state." The Supreme Court has held that the death penalty is disproportionate for crimes against individuals like rape that do not result in death. However, for crimes against the state such as drug trafficking, even without a death, the Court has said the death penalty may be constitutional. Congress has passed laws authorizing the death penalty for certain drug kingpin activities and crimes involving large-scale drug trafficking and death. Judges must sentence under these laws, but still cannot impose mandatory death sentences, as that would be unconstitutional. If a case challenging these drug offender death penalty laws reached the Supreme Court, it could use judicial review toVisual argument presentation

Additionally, it claims that the death penalty does not effectively deter crime, is unreliable and has led to the execution of innocent people.

The document discusses two Supreme Court cases testing whether sentencing juveniles to life without parole for homicide is cruel and unusual punishment. It summarizes the facts of the two cases - one involving a 14-year-old in Arkansas who participated in a robbery where his accomplice killed the store clerk, and another involving a 14-year-old in Alabama who severely beat and killed a man during a robbery. The document discusses arguments that will be made that mandatory life without parole sentences for juveniles are cruel considering their brains are not fully developed and they are more likely to rehabilitate. However, some states argue these sentences are justified for serious crimes and will deter juveniles from committing murder. The court will decide if life without parole isCapstoneCapitalPunishment

Capital punishment has been debated in the United States throughout its history. While some studies have found it deters crime, others have been inconclusive. Supporters argue it deters serious crimes by instilling fear in would-be criminals, prevents repeat offenses by incapacitating dangerous individuals, and fulfills a desire for retribution. However, opponents argue there is no clear evidence it deters crime more than other punishments like life in prison. The debate around capital punishment considers its effectiveness from ideological perspectives like deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation and retribution.Shawshanck and shit

Wilbert Rideau wrote "When Prisoners Protest" to bring attention to the misconceptions around solitary confinement in prisons and the lack of rehabilitation for inmates. Based on his 44 years spent in various prisons, including 12 years in solitary confinement, Rideau argues that solitary confinement is psychologically damaging and that prisons do little to prepare inmates for release back into society. He uses his own experience and observations from other prisons to advocate for more humane treatment of inmates and greater focus on rehabilitation through education, job training, and open communication between prison officials and inmates.The Policeman's Lot, Cont.

Currently, 79 juvenile offenders under age 14 are serving life without parole for homicide.

The appellant appealed his conviction of sexual assault. He had agreed to pay a prostitute $100 for sex but then said he did not have the money after the act. The trial judge explained to the jury that fraud exists if one party engages in an act assuming the terms will be met, but the other does not fulfill their end. The appeal was allowed and a new trial ordered because the judge's explanation of fraud could have directly influenced the jury, as fraud has been associated with the nature of the act or identity of the offender, not casual connections to consent. It is up to Parliament to decide whether fraud extends to casual connections to consent.The Theoretical Frameworks Of Charles Manson

Manson ordered his followers to commit murders to trigger this war. Manson and three followers were found guilty of the murders and initially sentenced to death, but this was later reduced to life in prison due to the abolition of the death penalty.

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 offenses such as murder, treason, kidnapping, and witchcraft. While many nations have abolished it, some like the U.S. and Bangladesh still practice it for certain crimes. Proponents argue it deters crime and brings closure for victims, while opponents argue it violates human rights, is prone to error, and lacks deterrence based on evidence. Morally, there are debates around whether governments deserve to kill those they imprison given issues with racial bias and unequal treatment.Capital punishment

Death penalty refers to capital punishment where a criminal receives the penalty of execution. The document discusses both the pros and cons of the death penalty. It argues that the death penalty should not be embraced in society as it promotes continued violence and destruction rather than valuing human life. While proponents claim it deters crime and honors victims, there is no evidence it deters more than life imprisonment. Additionally, the death penalty can be imposed in an unfair manner against poor and minority defendants. Overall, the document concludes that the death penalty worsens society by reinforcing anger and violence rather than understanding and love between people.Culture

Indigenous tribes like the Orang Asli in Malaysia have been displaced from their lands due to logging and mining activities, with some arrested when protesting. Logging in Borneo led to total forest destruction in the 1980s when it was the largest tropical wood exporter. The 9,000 strong Kenyah people were forced to leave their homes due to clear felling and now face issues like poverty, depression, and alcoholism. Selective logging continues but reduces biodiversity and uses machinery and roads that damage the environment. Large infrastructure projects like dams have also forced people to resettle while flooding forest areas.Population pyramids

The document discusses population management policies in the Indian state of Kerala. It notes that Kerala has experienced one of the greatest declines in fertility rates in India, with women having an average of 2 children, similar to rates in the UK. This is attributed to factors like high literacy rates, especially for women (85% literacy for women in Kerala), greater educational and work opportunities for women, later ages of marriage, improved access to healthcare and family planning, and greater legal rights and financial independence for women. The empowerment of women has been a major factor in Kerala's success in lowering its population growth rate.Less babies please china

The document discusses China's one child policy, which was introduced in 1979 to control the country's rapidly growing population. The policy limited urban couples to only one child and led to controversial population control measures. While it helped reduce population growth, it also caused issues like an aging population and gender imbalance from cultural preferences for sons over daughters. In recent years, China has relaxed the policy by allowing two children for rural families and ethnic minorities. However, the long-term implications of the imbalanced population structure due to the one child policy remain to be seen in the future.Less babies please

- 1. Arguments for the death penalty<br />IDENTIFY REASONEXPLAIN REASONPROVIDE EVIDENCE More Humane than other Forms of PunishmentCompared to incapacitation, which is a kinder phrase for lobotomy, or sentencing a criminal to solitary confinement for the next 25-50 years, executing a criminal may seem like a more humane option. A criminal sentenced to life without parole will never again see daylight, and will have to consider the consequences of their crime until the day they die. From an emotional standpoint, ending this elongated, intense level of suffering for a prisoner could be considered a mercy.The death penalty is more humane than life imprisonment.(Assuming, for the sake of the claim, that the execution is carried out in a humane manner, and that life imprisonment actually means油life油imprisonment, not, say, seven years and then parole.)- Alistair YoungLife Imprisonment doesnt necessary mean the person is guaranteed to be imprisoned for life. Surprisingly, life in prison without the possibility of parole does not always mean a criminal will truly remain in prison until the day they die.油Stacey Lannert, convicted for the 1990 murder of her sexually-abusive father, served 18 years of a life without parole sentence before receiving a full pardon by outbound Missouri governor Matt Blunt in January 2009. Lisa Connelly, one of the seven responsible for the 1993 Florida murder of Bobby Kent, was able to reduce her sentence of life in prison to 22 years upon appeal. In 2004, Connelly was released, despite being one of the primary planners of the Bobby Kent slaying. Through time, law changes, political authority figures change, and points of view on the death penalty change. Given enough time, yesterdays child-killer may become todays lifer, then tomorrows parolee.Removal of a Threat to SocietyEven though Saddam Hussein was captured and tried via an Iraqi tribunal in 2005, he still remained a threat; one of his tribunal judges was assassinated before the trial even began. Charles Lucky Luciano, possibly the most successful organized crime leader in history, didnt retire after being deported to Italy for the remainder of his life; he continued to control American organized crime long after his exile. Pablo Escobar, a criminal so ruthless he allegedly mailed witnesses invitations to their own funerals, was not only able to control his criminal empire from a luxurious prison, but he was also able to escape with a disturbing level of ease. Some criminals are truly above the law, in that their influence can reach the outside world even if they are behind bars. For this reason, some criminals are simply too dangerous to live at all.JusticeMay the punishment fit the crime. At the risk of being biased, this is definitely the best definition of justice that has ever existed or ever will exist.A desire for justice is one of the inherent qualities of most humans, and it prevents society from falling into a despotic chaos where the average, peaceful person would be subject to the anger, violence, and madness of criminals. A societys law, and the justice that is dispensed by its hands, is ultimately what keeps the citizenry of that society safe at night if anything does.In places where the death penalty is an option, it is one of the cornerstones of justice.For the sake of societys stability, fair and swift justice must always exist, and the complete removal of people who would destroy that society through crime is absolutely necessary. The death penalty serves this purpose better than any other form of punishment, as it ultimately ensures that a criminal can never harm another person again. From the perspective of justice, the death penalty serves any given populace by erasing its worst element: the criminal one.Do you want your close friend/ family members killer to still live in the world that you live in?
