Kronenwetter, Michael. "Capital Punishment."Contemporary World Issues. Second Edition. 2001.
"Capital Punishment", written by Michael Kronenwetter, merely pinpoints on my feelings towards the death penalty. Likewise, we both understand that everyone should be punished for the crime that they committed. Although, we feel that the death penalty is "complete and final", and that it deprives individuals of changing and becoming a better individual for society. "Cruel and unusual punishment" is against the law in our Constitution, but with this method of death, it seems that going against the law is acceptable. If the lawmakers continue to kill an individual for killing another individual, what is this saying? Is killing admissible for society?

Most civilized countries have banned the Death Penalty. And in light of hte DNA evidence proving the innocence of a lot of death row inmates, it is highly criticized and has been accused of Racist Practices, etc...
Great topic.
