9. We are failing to punish crime justly. The law is too lenient. 10. Capital punishment is not cruel. Modern methods are painless. 11. Capital punishment should be a major deterrent. Other strict laws should also beput into practice. 12. A life sentence is only a nominal sentence. It leaves a chance for the criminal toescape. 13. Those who are lenient to criminals are unkind to innocent people. 14. We shouldnt be blinded by emotional arguments, which leads to relaxation ofharsh laws. Counter-arguments 1. Capital punishment should not be a major deterrent. Emphasis should be put onthe reform of criminals. 2. It has been proved many times in the past that the relaxation of harsh laws hasnever led to an increase in crime. Therefore, the "deterrent" argument is absurd.capital punishment never protected anyone. 3. Those in favor of capital punishment are motivated only by a desire for revengeand retaliation. 4. There has been a marked trend in society towards a more humane treatment of lessfortunate members. The same attitude characterizes our approach to crime. 5. Hanging, electric chairs, garotte, etc. are barbaric and cruel. 6. Suspension of capital punishment is enlightened, civilized and humane. 7. Crime can only be drastically reduced by the elimination of social injustices, notby creating so-called "deterrents" when the real problems remain unsolved. 8. It is illegal to murder, but are we justified in taking away the life of the murderer？No. Capital punishment helps create a bloody world. 9. Lenient criminal legislation helps criminal to start a new life. 10. He who never errs does not exist. The death penalty leaves no chance for firstoffender to reform. 11. Murderers vary. Some kill people only to defend themselves while others aretrigger-happy. It is unfair to give the death penalty to every murderer. 12. Some criminals can be reformed if they are handled properly. The death sentenceleaves criminals no hope at all.
