Capital punishment is justifiable when the criminal in question has taken the life of his/her victim.By taking away the rights of living from another person,the criminal has inevitably forfeited his own too.To the family of the criminal,capital punishment may seem too harsh a punishment and they may beckon for another chance to be given.However, if we look from the perspective of the victim's family,isn' it unfair that their loved one be taken away from them and the one who did so not be given any punishment?
The death penalty should only be given for serious crimes such as murder and perhaps the smuggling of drugs. Although trafficking drugs may not be seen as a serious offence,but in my opinion it indirectly results in the deaths of many people as drugs such as heroin are causing many people all over the world to die.Thus, I think that the death penalty will only be justifiable by crimes that are directly or indirectly taking away people's lives.
