Apply the Capital Punishment !

Capital punishment should be applied in this country, especially for homicide cases. Because in some cases, a murderer who kills innocent people is punished only with very light punishment. The person who has been killed had gone forever, but the murderer a few years later will have walked out from the jail with a smile in his or her face. This is very unfair. With the capital punishment, criminals get punishment as heavy as he or she deserves to get. The most important reason why capital punishment should be applied is because it prevents people from doing crime, especially a murder. Some surveys show that the level of crime in countries applying this kind of punishment is lower than countries which do not apply it. Some people say that capital punishment is a form of violence toward human rights. But if we think wisely, the person who commits the murder has already violated the human rights. It was clear that he or she does not respect it. So, if we apply this punishment we can protect the human rights, from those who do not respect it. It also mean that we understand how precious the human life are.
