Many people have discussed whether the government should adopt the death penalty or not. I am in favor of the death penalty because although historically, some innocent people have been executed in error, it is the only way to give support to the bereaved, and it is also necessary to restrain evil murder or evil crimes.
In more and more cosmopolitan cities, evil crimes such as manslaughter, terrorism, robbery and sex crimes happen. Some cases are difficult to solve and find the criminals. The police will manage to find suspects but sometimes they apprehend innocent people. If the court judged an innocent person should be executed by the death penalty that person would be killed under false accusations. To stop such a tragedy from happening, some countries such as New Zealand, the EU and some states of the USA have already abolished the death penalty, not only to help innocent suspects and mental patients who cannot understand what they did, but also to help the executioners. Almost all people who have common sense and morals do not want to kill somebody even if it is necessary. For example, a man who dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima went insane because he deeply regretted what he had done. To avoid feeling regret, in Japan, there are many people and buttons to push one real ‘death’ button.
In addition, people who disagree with the death penalty may also disagree with the notion of revenge.
Even though I have considered all these things, I still agree with the death penalty. The first reason is that the survivors can only find peace with execution. No one has the right to say to them ‘Be tolerant.
Japan should abolish a death penalty system.I show three reasons about it.
The first reason is that we can never ignore a global thought.Convention on abolition of the death penalty was adopted in the United Nations General Assembly in 1989,and went to the direction where most of a democracy nation abolished a death penalty system. And it became only Japan and U.S.A. to continue death penalty in developed counties. This is clearly against a flow of the global ideas. There is not a right to take away life of a person even a nation.It is assumed that many world countries are right for this thought. Even the power of the state, murder is evil.
The second reason is that there is possibility of a misjudgment of death penalty. Death penalty is the punishment that retrieval is impossible literally.Even if a misjudgment becomes clear after the punishment execution,the release such as a sentence of prison is impossible. Naturally it must not have even one case.if we can reduce a misjudgment by death penalty by the abolition of death penalty,It is a very important thing.In other words, Possibility of death penalty by misjudgment should be not almost zero but absolutely zero.Former Supreme Court judge DANNDOU SIGEMITU describes in "Japanese point at issue 93" as follows,
"There must not be misjudgment about death penalty".It is not the thing which I felt,but the thing which should be never permitted.I think so human dignity and personal dignity.
