but what if there is a man that has been tested positive for some sort of disorder that causes him to have a strong urge to kill at random times, and he was either about to be set free in your town or put to death.
... You mean
Dexter?Someone who has the urge generally hasn't tamed it, and it's difficult to discover just how powerful the urge is, my guess is that it's equally strong to anyone else who would have it - and it would take a hugely reasonable / logical personality to get through it.
Even so, that would be difficult.
Mental asylum. The guy doesn't deserve to die, but he is a risk to society and that generally goes into Criminal Law. The only safe haven where he could live his life is there - unless his urge for killing can be sated on animals, and thus used productively for hunting, I would only want the Bay Harbor Butcher close to me if he kills killers.
Killers that deserve to die - there's the ethical dilemma ^^
The death sentence is just like communism..... It looks good on paper
Witty comments and a method of government running isn't very constitutional towards the argument of whether the death penalty is acceptable or not.
The Casey Anthony trial is perfect for why swift justice can only be used on people who have been 100% convicted.
Simply this. The minimum consequence for taking an innocent life is death itself - another way of putting it is "The minimum consequence for killing in cold blood is death itself".
I see no difference in those two sentences.
I don't know too much about the Casey Anthony trial although if it's 100% certain that the person killed in cold blood, off with his head I say.
If people were being killed for petty crimes, like stealing someone's handbag, crime rates would drop like a dead bird. I'm not saying, or implying, that i's right, but it would be an effective way to accomplish that.
Bare in mind the requirements in order to take harsher action generally depend on the state of culture. With the relatively high crime rate current around the world a harsh punishment for robbery is absurd - including the Arabian countries as Blkasp had pointed out:
In some Arab countries, although they don't kill them, they can chop off their hand of the criminal who stole.
The Death Sentence isn't used much, or at all nowadays - but it should be noted that if it were a very rare thing, to have a murder case, then more severe action would probably be taken, being as the standard of behaviour / wisdom is higher.
Yep. Did you hear about the story in Iran where a guy blinded and deformed his girlfriend when he splashed acid her face? The government was going to legally blind him with acid as a punishment.
Well deserved punishment, honestly. Infact I would be pissed off that only one of his eyes were blinded because apparently "he's worth two women" wasn't expected to happen - and if anger in that situation would actually help.
It's not inhumane when you consider that he did it because she wouldn't marry him - I don't care how much indoctrination you went through or what the culture is, if you have the gall to throw volatile and lethal liquids into someone elses face then you have the gall to resist that which is around you.
There are so many comments...
And few of them are useless. Sadly, yours kind of is :/
i dont know i am confused first punishment main goal to amend criminal thats why the death penalty seemed so wrong..
The point in Criminal Law is to protect society, and to punish the offender. Criminal Law includes a breach of security / human rights so important that the state considers it against them, and not just an / the individual(s) that were direct victims.
Civil Law is between one person and the other, where it's to amend for the claimants breach of rights and claim compensation.
..there are two types of criminal..one community make them criminal second they are born like criminal..
Not really. Each person is capable of resisting a criminal act. Being "born" criminal isn't really something that's possible. Not even enviromental raising to be like that would change your nature.
The main condition I can think of is the urge, which can often be present in psychopathy being as they feel emotion in no other way.
People who are made criminal by the community are not people - by saying that you remove all the individuality they once had. People are capable of thinking for themselves, I know this through experience. You can gain so much from expanding from the little you already know, especially when it comes to moral / philosophical endeavors.
Those who decide to expand on themselves and what they have been taught / know are the most individual, because it's their work, and theirs alone.
