The topic that I am choosing is capital punishment. Capital punishment is state-sanctioned execution of persons convicted of serious crimes. ... There are 38 states which have legalized capital punishment. ...
The Church’s view on capital punishment is that it is acceptable only in rare situations if at all. ... The Church believes in three justifications traditionally advanced for punishment: deterrence, rehabilitation, and retribution. Deterrence is the idea that punishment or fear of punishment can help prevent crime. ... The Church believes that capital punishment shuts the door to any possibility of reform and reintegration into society. ... The Church teaches that retribution does justify punishment. ... We should base punishment on the phrase “Love your enemy” rather than “An eye for an eye”.
