I think it’s very scary that any president of a country anywhere in the world should promote vigilantism and make so many threats to kill criminals. While I think it’s a laudable goal to want to stem corruption, I don’t believe that capital punishment or gunning people down in the streets will help anything. It will only increase violence and fear.

Criminal and killers are at large in every country because there is no capital punishment in the country as all see in Saudi Arabia no murder, no killing, no violence, no threat, no corruption…because they act upon the law of Sahia or according to the Holy Book is called Quran.
The holy Bible also says capital punishment but people do not act uopn it knowingly why? I do not know its reason.
The Advantages of the Death Penalty
It shows that the justice system has no sympathy for the criminals.
When criminals escape from the capital punishment, they repeat their crimes and take more innocent lives.The availability of modern testings such as DNA testing reduces the chances of punishing the innocents; therefore, capital punishment can be an effective tool to control the crimes.
The death penalty can address the problem of overpopulation in the prisons.
It gives closure to the families of the victims who have already suffered a lot.The Disadvantages of Death Penalty
Though there are scientific methods available to investigate the crime, nothing is guaranteed. You cannot remove the chances of punishing innocents completely.The cost involved on the death penalty prosecution is greater than the expenses occurred in the life imprisonment of the accused. The appeals against such capital punishments take too long to decide, and often it takes years to decide the fate of the death penalty. All these things make the death penalty an expensive option for the governments who spend millions of the dollars of the taxpayer money on death penalty prosecutions.
It is reported that some of the jury members are not completely impartial as they decide the penalty on racial or religious basis.
Some of the accused are mentally ill, and it is ethically wrong to put mentally ill patients to the death.In most cases people who can afford to hire the expensive lawyers often survived from such kind of capital punishment. People who are poor, and cannot afford to get a quality legal assistance becomes the victim of this penalty.
Some of the experts believe that life prison is a more effective punishment to control crimes as compared to the death penalty. The countries where the death penalty is banned have less capital crime rate as compared to those countries where the death penalty is practiced.
Every country must impose capital punishment for public safety.

I also believe that capital punishment such as the death penalty should be imposed, specially for so heinous crimes like murders and rapes or even being a manufacturer of drugs because by itself it is heinous crime since it wrecks the lives of many people including those young people.
But this should be meted out only if the person is really proven guilty.
