Death Penalty - The Only Justice for Killers? In the USA, a majority of the people supports capital punishment and vote for those politicians that take a strong stand against crime. Those who support the death penalty use such arguments as: An eye for an eye! Society should not have to pay for someone so dangerous that they can never return to live around normal people. The threat of execution is enough to make criminals think twice about committing a capital crime. Those who oppose the death penalty argue their position with statements such as: Although the act of murder is horrific and inexcusable, executing the killer does nothing to bring the person back. It often costs more to execute a criminal than it would to keep him/her alive in jail.
