se cannot adequately ret tribute someone's death nor deter others strongly enough from repeating the same offence that the criminals already have. As you can see, capital punishment fulfils our society's "checklist" of what a punishment should do, especially the objective of retribution. Many people, who want capital punishment restored, have also clearly stated that without a suitable punishment for crimes, justice will never truly be served to those that have suffered damages or losses. People will think less and less of the law and start resorting to "private law and order". This would not only create chaos but also raise the crime rate further with people running around on private vendettas. Even with these facts and arguments, the federal government refuses to restore the death penalty. So all we can do now is protest to the government, wait, and hope that it will not take a high crime rate and the loss of many innocent lives before they realize what a mistake they made in 1976 by totally abolishing capital punishment....
