Firstly, we frame the question, and the question will be “Should Carl shoot the two rapists?” then create the maxim, for Carl’s situation will be “When my daughter was raped then I want to see the justice be done, then I kill the men, otherwise they may just get few years in jail only.” Then, the interesting point is universalizing the maxim, so if Carl kills and everyone can kill. Moreover, we should think about the Carl intention. I think this is really unusual thought about killing and justice connection. So think about the universalizing the maxim for two boys’ action if two boys rape people then everyone can rape others without the guilty. Maybe Carl’s situation in Kantianism is more understandable because intention matter not consequence.
Deterrence is an act or process of discouraging and preventing an action from occurring. When potential killers know that the cost of their murderous action can result in their own death, they are much more hesitant and more likely to reconsider their plans. Murderers are selfish and sick-minded people who have no consideration of others. Isaac Ehrlich puts it perfectly, “ if one execution of a guilty capital murderer deters the murder of one innocent life, the execution is justified.” Therefore, capital punishment should be strictly enforced and legalized.Capital punishment also provides protection to the society. Philosopher Jackues Barzun compares such criminals to wolves.
I have concluded that substance abuse is a huge contributor to crimes being committed. The lack or decrease in moral intuition and character can cause a person to make bad decisions. This would cause people not to understand the benefits of to abiding to common social values. A person demographics can also play a role in determining whether or not an individual will turn to a life of crime. Government officials, politicians, and courts employees have concluded that individuals commit crimes for private alternatives and they should be punished and held responsible for their actions and conduct.

I agree with this statement, if you’re out to be mean and angry. You’ll find yourself surrounded by angry people. None of the energy will be good and put to good use. You’ll continue to find yourself in bad situations. Her next point is that most people that lash out on another.
The secret is to not get caught I have consistently heard of murders being caught for unexplainable stupidity. I am no murder and do not plan to be one. However, I do feel I have enough common sense to be one damn good murder. Murder is like anything else in life. It’s not very difficult, but it has to be done just right.
Should we adhere to the policy of “an eye for an eye”? Opponents of the Death Penalty, in their attempt to illustrate that executing a convicted criminal is no less barbaric than the crime for which he or she is being punished, claim that sentencing these individuals to death does not deter crime. In fact, such executions merely convey that it is acceptable to act violently. In her argument against Capital Punishment, Belinda York states, “Why should potential criminals be afraid of committing crimes, when the very society that prohibits such behavior resorts to the same methods” (89)? According to this view, if the state is allowed to kill, why is not this privilege extended to all citizens?
He presents a question as if a solider doing his duty in war is the same as a person convicted of murder. Here is where I disagree with him. I believe that many men and women who are serving any military know what they could possibly have to do if they are sent off to war. They are aware of the possibility of having to defend themselves and take another life. This to me is different than a planned and strategic murder of another person.
A sensitive person like me can not handle public humiliation. I felt isolated, self-hating, miserable, and angry. None of these foster positive character change. In fact, they only make a person more likely to repeat their crimes and act in a defensive (even
It is good, when they complement each other, but if they are skewed, it causes negative consequences. Among all possible punishments, the death penalty is the most extreme, and likely, the most ineffective and unfair type of punishment for any crime. However, there are many proponents with opposing viewpoints to this. To begin with, capital punishment cannot be economically justified. At first glance, it may seem that maintaining a life-term prisoner is more burdensome for taxpayers.
