Many people believe the morals of the world are deteriorating. Crime, including murders, happen with regularity. Right now, as you read this, an innocent person, maybe a mother, maybe some one's son, is possibly being murdered. If you were a friend or a family member of the victim, what price would you see fit for his murderer? As a human being, what penalty do you see fit for this murderer?
Many people feel that capital punishment is the only punishment this criminal deserves. Other people view the death penalty as heartless, stating violence begets violence. What ever side you may choose on this hot topic of debate, this site has links to sites that provide many facts dealing with capital punishment. New sites will be added as I find them, so check back every now and then if you are interested in learning more.
Find your own answer to the question "Should we really use the death penalty?" Even if you do find your own answer, chances are this debate is far from over.
