Capital Punishment is not THE solution to reduce criminality, because is an animal behavior took the life of someone, even if he or she is a murder. Capital Punishment is a criminal behavior like the murder do with homicides. With death penalty, criminal stats have the same behavior such in states that have not that maximum sentence.
In the other side, applying capital punishment can turn the justice into injustice. In the United States of America, one of each seven condemned man was free of charges, innocent people who didn’t have the opportunities to rehab himselves or get any chances to defend his innocence before the juror and the judge.
Also, that penalty is linked with the behavior of the entire society, with things like racism, discrimination, authoritarianism, etc. In USA, there are more black man that white in jails.
Homicides didn’t occur, in the major of cases, with premeditation. This kind of crimes happen with assaults or steals with fireguns. And happen wherever in the world, with or without capital punishment.
So, the government have to operate into the place of the criminal: poor families. And, they don’t have to forget the rich criminals. So, the government have to act to change the culture of abuse, present in our society. And make a change in the educative programs. The educative programs must have changes in values, and they have to extend to the families and social sectors.
Also, the government must have to reduce the number of drunk people, by reducing bars and pubs, and increasing the liquor taxes.
I think the criminality is increasing, owing to the fact that the mass media believe and make believe us that. Mass media make generalizations of every crime in Santiago, a city that have the 40% of the total people in Chile. So, by stats, Santiago has more reports of crime than other regions. And mass media focus they attention in Santiago.
But, Santiago is not Chile.
In 2004, I was a victim of a steal in Valparaíso. A man tried to take my cellphone, but I defended myself and I took the initiative and I banged him to save my cellphone. I was successful, and I recover, finally, my cellphone.
