The death penalty is an issue that is always at the
center of the controversy. Although, it is abolished in a large part of America,
but there are still great countries like the United States that consider it in
their criminal regulations as a punishment for some criminals. If we didn’t
have criminals, we would have a better planet with liberty. We can define Death
Penalty as a sanction that in reality has always been applied from the origins
of humanity for those very serious crimes such as murder, theft, rape, among
others. Having the knowledge of what this topic is about. Should there be the
death penalty in our country?
If someone is a victim of crime, that person says yes,
and that is also due to the undeniable fact that there is an index of violence
in the country, and this causes many social problems that we can divide into
two types: physical and psychological. With physical consequences we refer
specifically to the homicides that are increasing day by day at the national
level, and with psychological we can highlight several factors. Firstly, we
have the impact that the families of the victims receive after knowing the loss
of a loved one, secondly, the fear and mistrust that the citizens develop due
to the situation they face. People wouldn’t have these problems if they were
not victims in the past.
Violence in El Salvador has been increasing for a long
time. Between January and February 2016, a total of 1,399 murders were recorded.
Currently, there is an average of 24 homicides per day. It is very important to
point out that some victims of these homicides have been policemen and
soldiers. If I were a police officer, this would bother me a lot. We can
analyze that the government authorities don’t have control over this phenomenon,
and the Salvadoran population is affected in great magnitude which leads us to
think about alternatives such as the death penalty. If the town doesn’t feel
safe, this takes extreme measures.
On the other hand, there are some events in which the
death penalty cannot be a solution because the charges that a person presents
are not first degree, in other words, they aren’t serious crimes that should be
punished with this sanction. If a person commits a crime without affecting the
integrity of another person, it doesn’t mean that person deserves the death penalty;
however, the person who commits a crime must be punished according to the
seriousness of his fault.
In addition, it must be said that the Amnesty
International organization points out that the death penalty is a violation of
human rights to which every person without exception has the right. According
to the decrees and laws that each country has, and a death penalty under these
terms would be an act of cruelty, despite the convicted person having committed
a crime of the first degree. Organizations help the condemned when their human
rights are violated.
However, some civilians consider that the death
penalty can be the solution in very extreme cases when the criminal commits
terrorist acts or cases in which social security is affected. From an impartial
point of view, the death penalty can have positive and negative effects
depending on how it is applied, Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of
legalizing a law of this type in our country should be examined point by point.
If nobody talks and proposes solutions, nobody knows the direction the country can
take.
It is difficult to make a decision that can lead to
developing other types of acts that may be unfair to the citizen because the
death penalty is a controversial issue that touches on intimate aspects of
moral, values, and the pursuit of safety and social protection among others,
If the death penalty is not a viable solution for the security of our country, what
would be the correct solution?
