I think that the death penalty should be abolished because abolishing the death penalty will not reduce the number of cases. Some people who oppose the death penalty are concerned about respect for human rights. Others argue that there is no way to recover in the event of a mistrial. However, the probability of such a case is extremely low, and the families of the victims exist. For them, this is a case that they would never forgive. However, it is cruel to think that only the victims and their families are suffering and the perpetrators are living without the death penalty. Considering the severity of the case and the families of the victims, I think that the death penalty should be carried out. Furthermore, if they are not sentenced to death, they may have the same or other incidents again. I thought it was necessary to make them realize how serious the crime they committed was. Some people have said that the problem is that the death penalty makes it easier, but I thought the death penalty should be carried out. Although few countries may have the death penalty, we believe that appropriate decisions should be made without being influenced by the state. For these reasons, I think that the death penalty should not be abolished.
