Never Again (summary)

Issue of capital punishment divides people in two groups: for execution and against.
There are some most important arguments of reintroducing capital punishment. Firstly, potential murderers would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might also die. Moreover, criminals must get what they deserve and as a consequence, society would be safer. Finally, to hang convicted murderers is better than wasting taxpayers' money for them, while being in prison. On the other hand, there are several arguments againts death penalty. First of all, a huge rate of homicides. Besides, sometimes innocent people are wrongly convicted. One more thing should be taken in to consideration, that death penalty is a matter of individual conscience and belief. Finally, state should set an example to the society by not taking lives.
In conclusion, it is important to understand that Christianity preaches forgiveness, not revenge.
