Capital punishment - the only suitable punishment for Rapists

Capital punishment - the only suitable punishment for Rapists

The crime rate has been on an increase since a very long time; especially cases of rape have been increasingly reported. Capital punishment or death penalty is when an individual is deceased by the state as a chastisement for delinquency that the individual has committed.

For:
- Government despairs that stern requirements will have a constraining effect on prospective offenders when the law will be enacted
- The decree will improve the criminal laws immediately
- The law needs to be put into action as it will help in discouraging the others from doing the same

Against:

- As per our country’s law, a punitive chastisement such as a death sentence is specified out in a very rare scenario where the accused is found guilty in case of sexual assault, rape and murder case
- Death penalty would be applied only to those victims who have committed the same crime twice even after being released from the jail, which will not work in Indi, as in India people know the ways to get rid of the punishment because of the loopholes in our law system
- The procedure of application of any policy in India has been a long procedure and a difficult one
- Most of the men are aware, that they would be able to get out of the jail or the ones who are influential would be taken out on bail, and hence in spite of implementing capital punishment, they would be free and doing as they feel
- We need a much more severe sentence something like castration and that the laws should be strictly applied for anybody and everybody who commits a crime.

Conclusion:

- Capital punishment or any other severe punishment would only make a difference if it is actually applied on individuals who have committed crime and that they should not be let off. If this is implemented then only will any punishment work.
