Quelqu'un pourrait me corriger svp :

Should the death penalty be abolished ?

Should a person who commits a brutal crime be punished with death ?
After considering the pros and cons, i believe the death penalty should be a legal option in the criminal justice system, but there is the option for the defendant to be sentenced to life imprisonment.
First, it is deterrent to crime. Statistics have shown that states who do not have the death penalty have a hight number of capital crimes.
A second advantage of the death penalty is that the victim’s family has peace of mind when they know the killer can never murder again.
For the most brutal crimes, the death penalty is appropriate. It is the only way we can prevent dangerous criminals from committing another violent crime.

The abolitionists have an argument, the fear of being given the death penalty isn’t effective for the serial killers or mental patients, because nothing can fear them.
Moreover, no one, including a judge is perfect. What happens if a person is given capital punishment and evidence turns up later which reveals that this person is innocent ? If the « criminal » was put in jail, at least partial reparations could be made later. Obviously, if a person is given the death penalty, there is no turning back.
For example, a man was jailed for murdering a social worker although he claimed that he was innocent. Here, a journalist proved that mistakes can be made by juries because the man could solve the crime from his prison cell.

To conclude, it is not fair that murderers are often given parole after only a few years in jail. That is the reason that I would suggest those convicted of murder should be jailed for life with no option for parole, and all countries in the world should abolish the death penalty like in France, where The French Parliament registered the abolition of the death penalty in the Constitution.
