Extract

Capital Punishment is the lawful taking of a person's life after a conviction of crime. It has caused much controversy and has raised difficult legal and ethical issues. Debates about it continue to wage in both courts and political arenas. There is evidence that the death
sentence is put to disproportionately use to be carried out on the poor, Negro, members of unpopular groups of society. The Death penalty should be made against the law because it is a punishment that is racist, sexist, and discriminatory against the poor.
