Many countries in the world exercise different tools for punishment to the criminals. One of the most frequent way uses to punish a criminal is capital punishment given by the court. Some people believe that capital punishment can reduce the crime ratio in the society whereas some other disagrees with it.
Capital punishment plays an important role for like traffic laws and laws against smoking habits at public places etc. People who violate that kind of laws have to pay some fine as a capital punishment. That kind of efforts of a government may control the crime rate in a country. Its best example is the Middle East and western countries where minor crimes are controlled up to the acceptable level by the authorities. Problem arises when a habitual criminals or dangerous criminals like involved in the killings of people are given punishment of fine with prison. People often strongly oppose that kind of punishments because according their opinion criminal may easily pay the fine penalty given by court. The criminal’s punishment should be in form of strict and hard punishment without any capital penalty. Capital punishment may cause to reduce their actual punishment against the scale of laws violation.
On the other hand a decent proportion of public opinion is in favour of capital punishment. They strongly believe that capital punishment may stop the people of violating the laws in a society. They also support the fine penalty with major crimes along with prison. Although the capital penalty should revise to increase for them involve in major crimes. A survey in Pakistan people participated 500 people resulted eighty percent against the punishments of death penalty with capital punishment. They significantly opposed the law of second death penalty to a dead person could not pay capital fine.
In short capital punishment is a way to reduce the crimes but it’s not a strong tool to control the major crimes like killing, ransom for money. Governments should make meaningful amendments to convert capital punishment into acceptable laws supported by public opinion rather than abolish the capital punishment.
