Should the death penalty be abolished?
死刑は廃止すべきか
I firmly believe that the death penalty should be abolished. While I understand the desire for justice, I think capital punishment creates more problems than it solves. There are two main reasons for this.
The first reason is the risk of executing innocent people. No justice system is perfect, and wrongful convictions do happen. Take the United States, for instance, where more than a hundred and fifty death row inmates have been exonerated in recent decades, sometimes thanks to new DNA evidence. Once a person has been executed, that mistake can never be undone. To me, even one innocent death is too high a price to pay.
Secondly, there is little evidence that the death penalty actually deters crime. Many countries that have abolished it, such as Canada and most of Europe, have not seen their murder rates rise as a result. This suggests that harsh punishment is not what stops violent crime; rather, factors like poverty and a reliable police presence matter far more.
For these reasons, I am convinced that the death penalty should be abolished. A modern society should focus on preventing crime and protecting the innocent, not on taking lives in the name of justice.
