[QUOTE="Matty, post: 2052288, member: 254767"] im not opposed to the death penalty. being in law enforcement i think it serves its purpose. however, if i were doing a paper against it, i would stick to the point that killing someone because they killed someone will not bring that person back. there are 4 goals of corrections... deterrence (specific and general), retribution (an eye for an eye), incapacitation (jailing someone to take away their ability to committ more crime) and rehabilitation (duh). the death penalty does not work as a deterrent beleive it or not. when someone is committing an act such as murder, they are NOT thinking about the consequences. therefore deterrence does not work. and as for retribution, like i said earlier, you cant bring back the victim of the murder. so why take someone elses life away. and finally, death penalty appeals are automatic in EVERY case. all the appeals they make are terribly expensive. that being said, it may be cheaper on the state to incarcerate someone for life instead of going through all the appeals. it costs approx 33K a year to incarcerate someone for the rest of their life. this includes everything. we spend more than that on appeals and stuff.
