Weblog Assignment #4

The existence of the death penalty is necessary. The death penalty is effective in deterring people from committing crimes. Most people dread the ending of life. If a person who wants to commit crimes thinks about the acceptance of punishment, maybe he will desist from doing bad things. If people don’t have internal controls, the external controls are necessary to help them control themselves.The death penalty is one way to give the victims and their family comfort. The victims and their family surely feel sad and are angry with the criminals. It is not fair to the victims if the criminals are not punished. The existence of the death penalty can help to keep the peace of society and protect its citizens, so we should not abolish it.
