  10. Do you think that the death penalty is still acceptable today?

  11. Society must protect innocent people. Justice must be seen to be done. “Life” prisoners are often released early and may re-offend. The death penalty is the only deterrent some people understand. Some criminals might prefer execution to a life in prison. ArgumentsFor Capital Punishment

  12. People may be wrongly accused and executed. The death penalty does not appear to work, the USA has a higher rate of violent crime than the UK. The cost of keeping someone on death row is far higher than the cost of keeping them as a life prisoner. Some criminals might be seen as martyrs. A civilised state should defend life not kill. Minority groups are far more likely to be given the death sentence. Arguments Against Capital Punishment.
