Do you believe that severe punishment would deter potential criminals from evildoing? Is death penalty (死刑) indispensable component of the criminal law? Do you believe the arch criminals deserve another chance to turn over a new leaf? Should capital punishment be abolished (废除的) ?
In the USA, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. Many U.S. states still have the death penalty. Some use the electric chair, which can take up to 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection. The first execution was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime of passion. The second, a man was hanged for murders which, it was later proved, had been committed by someone else.
The death penalty advocates listed several points to support capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murders would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed.
The other argument is more suspectful. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally sets out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the delicious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian. But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: in Britain, 1903 was the record year for executions and yet in 1904, the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate would have fallen.
The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge.
The people who are in favor of death penalty believe in the following except ______
选项
A、The intentional murderer should eat his own bitter fruit
B、Stricter punishments stop crime
C、The punishment must fit the crime
D、To err is human; to forgive, divine
答案
D
解析
因为根据第三、第四段,主张死刑者都赞成“以牙还牙、以血还血”的思想,也就是说,“犯多重的罪,就该受多重的罚(C)”,“杀人者应自食其果(A)”,而且他们认为“严惩可以阻止罪犯(B)”,所以他们不会信奉“犯错人皆难免,宽恕则为圣贤”的思想。
