do criminals deserve punishment ?? what about death pelanty ?

Question

it's about criminal rights

Answer 1

I think that anyone that commits an infraction or an offense should face consequences. Consequences are a natural part of the learning process of life and serve as deterrents to future crimes. If the consequences are proportional to the offense then they may not deter further acts. How minor or severe those consequences are is generally something that is established by state or federal legislation or local ordinances. The fines or penalties vary by jurisdiction but they are more or less very similar. In New Mexico,  

 

Petty misdemeanor penalties may include, but are not limited to:

Up to 6 months in jail
$500 fine
6 month probation
Community service
License suspension

 

Full misdemeanor offenses (assault and battery) penalties may include:

Up to 1 year in jail
$1000 fine
1 year probation
Community service
License suspension

 

For Felonies it varies:

• First degree felony resulting in the death of a child, life imprisonment;
• First degree felony for aggravated criminal sexual penetration, life imprisonment;
• First degree felony, eighteen years imprisonment;
• Second degree felony resulting in the death of a human being, fifteen years imprisonment;
• Second degree felony for a sexual offense against a child, fifteen years imprisonment;
• Second degree felony, nine years imprisonment;
• Third degree felony resulting in the death of a human being, six years imprisonment;
• Third degree felony for a sexual offense against a child, six years imprisonment;
• Third degree felony, three years imprisonment; or
• Fourth degree felony, eighteen months imprisonment.

 

New Mexico does not have the death penalty. I think that is more a question of religious beliefs. 

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Answer 2

The answer to this is somewhat....convoluted. The criminal/suspect has rights, of course. Fair trial, face their accuser, etc. Punishment is determined by law, based on the nature of the "crime." Does a criminal who commits a capital offense deserve to die? That is a much larger question, and without a context, I can't help you much. There is both law and personal beliefs involved with saying a criminal deserves the death penalty. The victim's families would say they do, where as someone else would say they don't. Others argue the morality of the penalty itself.
Another argument is that does the punishment fit the actual crime.
Perhaps you can tell me more about what you are looking for in terms of making this type of argument. I can try to help you from there! Hope this helps a little bit though~
