Best Works of The Semester - 2

   I believe that only death makes people value their own life and stop committing crimes.  Consequently, I certainly support using the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment.  For instance, in Europe, those who commit crimes, such as homicide, robbery and sexual assault, are not afraid of being caught.  Because they know that law itself is protecting them.  The wrongdoer here is the forbidden death penalty.  Criminals are therefore sent into jail.  Their cost in jail is the taxes that we citizens pay.  For most people or even the victims’ family, that is absolutely unacceptable.  Besides, if the government practices the death penalty, people could feel safer.  We do not have to worry about being robbed on the halfway of going to grocery store or killed just for peeking at someone on the road.  In my opinion, the government should take action on guarding against the criminals instead of forbidding the death penalty.
