alty, including death. They are crimes of passion, committed in moments of intense rage, frustration, hatred, or fear, when the killers aren't thinking clearly of the personal consequences of what they do. I respect the abolitionists beliefs, but I still believe in the death penaltys deterrence value. People are deterred from committing crimes because of punishment and if there are no punishment there is nothing to fear. I believe the serial murderers that continuously kill should be put to death so that no more lives will be lost. If they get away with it, they will think that doing it again wont matter. I believe in harsh punishments because I know that justice is not done if they get to roam free when another innocent life is hurt. What I fear is criminals who have no fear and continually commit crimes that only have them in jail for a few weeks. I believe these criminals should have to be punished more than this because there is a chance that they will commit some sort of crime again knowing the worse is being in solitude fed by the government and our taxes. If some penalty was applied to them that can bring in fear, it guarantees that they will never commit any crimes again. It is only cruel and unusual punishment to the innocent ones who have to deal with the habitual criminals who commit crime over and over again....
