Debate Topic : Death Penalty

Capital punishment or the death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The judicial decree that someone be punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual process of killing the person is an execution. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment).

The benefit of this punishment are this punishment can give a big impact for the corruptor and also for the public who never do a corruption. Someone that saw the news about this punishment will think about what will they do, will they corrupt? Exactly the will not corrupt because see what will be given for the corruptor.This punishment also can make the number of corruption index decrease directly. Because, a death penalty have more effect than usual punishment like now. Next, this punishment also make the person who did a corruption will not be able to corrupt again because he/she died. 

Disadvantage of this punisment are death penalty harm the human right. We know everybody in this world have a right to life well and defend their life. If the corruptor die, we can't search the information about corruption in a nation. Because if someone corrupt he/she would not do lonely, but together with another people. So, if the corruptor is punished with another punishment it will open the chain of the corruption case. 

With the benefits and disadvantages, I think capital punishment must be banned. Like I said in the third paragraph about disadvantages from this punishment, death penalty will harm the human right a person to life in this world. This opinion was wrote in our constitution on the UUD (Undang-Undang Dasar). I took data from the International corruption index (http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/in_detail) showed the nation that don't have death penalty for the corrupter has low corruption index. It's proved by the ranked of the New Zealand which ranked 1st and Denmark in the 2nd. So, I think that penalty is a bad solution to make corruptor will not repeat what they did in the past (Corrupt). The solution are, goverment make a regulation  to punish the corruptor with a long time jailed in the prison and, the corruptor must be given a forced labor without payment to serve people in their nation and also all of their wealth must be given back to the goverment, with NO EXCEPTION.

Maybe that's all about death penalty from me. I hope in the future, corruption can be disappeared from around the world exactly, in our lovely country INDONESIA
