We used to have a law allowing death penalty thru lethal injection but it was later amended hence the discontinuance of the death penalty in our country. The question to ask is. . .Should we again allow the imposition of death penalty and under what conditions? Many reasons had been advanced for the removal of death penalty, foremost among them, its not a crime deterent. On the other issue, we can reduce crime rate by simply enforcing the laws without fear or favor and in accordance with our sworn duty.
personally. i want death penalty to be enforced in the country because as you have said it may reduce crime rates because it serves as a strong rod for crime deterrence. but i read a book on parole and probation and the author pointed out the the implementation of death penalty has never reduced crime rates and has no proven fact that it is an effective means as a crime deterrence. is this true?
