Capital Punishment: The Only Defense
Words: 614 / Pages: 3 .... Wrongly so. Maldistribution inheres no more in capital cases than in any other punishment. Because of the finality of the death penalty, the most grievous maldistribution occurs when it is imposed upon the innocent. However, the frequent allegations of discrimination refer to maldistribution among the guilty and not to the punishment of the innocent. Maldistribution of any punishment among those who deserves it is irrelevant to its justice or morality. Punishments are imposed on a person, not a race or economic group. Guilt is personal. The only question that needs to be asked is, does the person who is to be executed deserve the punishm .....

Death Penalty In The United States
Words: 2700 / Pages: 10 .... eliminate repeat
offenders. Death penalty opponents feel that the death penalty actually
leads to an increase in crime because the death penalty desensitizes people
to violence, and it sends the message that violence is a suitable way to
resolve conflicts. Death penalty opponents also condemn the death penalty

desensitizes people to murder and violence because, by executing people,
the state sends the message .....

Currently there is a high tolerance for homosexuals throughout the United States. Judges do not need the popularity of the people on the Federal circuit court level to make new precedent.

Opposing The Death Penalty
Words: 1094 / Pages: 4 .... differences has made me doubt my prior convictions. First of
all, I am against the use of the lethal injection. I understand that it is
cleaner, but if the law wants to inflict death as a punishment, it must
understand that death is not a pretty thing. Criminals are painlessly put to
sleep, and die in the same manner that Dr. Kavorkian's patients choose.
Personally, if I was faced with the option of living the remainder of my life in
isolation, perpetually haunted by pain and images of terror, I would absolutely
chose to die by lethal injection. There is no true punishment in this method,
except the fear of going to hell, which I strongly doubt .....

Serial Killers
Words: 4242 / Pages: 16 .... because they look just like everybody else.
Actually, they act just like everybody else. You could have a neighbor that's a
serial killer and not even know it. Psychopaths are everyday people with
everyday lives, but they just have one problem, they have a need to kill.
What does a serial killer do? Serial killers usually have reasons for
killing, they just don't go out and kill anyone (the majority). A serial killer
will plan out where, when, why, and how before they actually kill. Ted Bundy
used to lure his victims with a phony cast on his leg. Others lured with the
promise of sex or porno movies. When they kill they usually have their .....

Capital Punishment: For And Against
Words: 2560 / Pages: 10 .... of the perpetrator to membership and
even to life. A community founded on moral principles has certain requirements.
The right to belong to a community is not unconditional. The privilege of living
and pursuing the good life in society is not absolute. It may be negated by
behavior that undermines the nature of a moral community. The essential basis on
which community is built requires each citizen to honor the rightful claims of
others. The utter and deliberate denial of life and opportunity to others
forfeits ones own claim to continued membership in the community, whose
standards have been so flagrantly violated. The preservation of moral communi .....
