Death penalty debate

The death penalty is a legal punishment where a person is sentenced to death for serious crimes, like murder. Supporters argue it provides justice, deters crime, and ensures dangerous individuals cannot harm others again. Opponents raise concerns about its morality, potential for wrongful convictions, and whether it truly deters crime. Additionally, they highlight ethical questions about taking life and the possibility of executing innocent people. The debate balances the interests of justice, public safety, ethical considerations, and the imperfections of the justice system. Countries vary widely in whether they use or abolish the death penalty.
