OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT



What drives a person to commit heinous crime? How can someone take the life of another? There are probably many reasons for committing the act, but how they can do it is in their mental makeup. Would capital punishment handed down to law violators help solve human lawlessness? What could possibly be too cruel and unusual punishment for the gravest crime committed?

There is no question that punishment serves many purposes. For many reasons, the issue of punishment is of vital concern to civilized society, with the end in view of knowing the effects and the best way of carrying it out. We want to punish, but we also want to know that such punishment is justified.

@ Darrel

There are so much to say about capital punishment. Bottom line, I don't advocate it. I still believe in the laws of God and not of man!

I read a lot about innocent people imprisoned for crimes they didn't even know and didn't commit. Is justice served right?

Good morning, Bay!

Bilang Kristyano, di rin ako sang-ayon sa capital punishment. Diyos lamang ang may karapatan sa ating buhay.

They say, sudden outburst ng galit is one of the causes of crimes! Kaya iwasan magagalit!
