death penalty essay

Introduction
Lets face it essay writing doesnt have many
fans among students, more so if its a death
penalty essay. They are long, they are boring,
and demand too much research, time and effort.
Hardly any awe-inspiring features right? To write
death penalty essays is like being sentenced to
one. They would much prefer to be facing the
firing squad than having to write the essay.

Topic Ready? Wear your Researcher Shoes Now

  worked so hard to dig out but cant use.
• Always be on the lookout for statistical data.
  When you are writing an essay on the death
  penalty, you must have some statistical data
  related to crimes that can be used to support and
  strengthen your argument.

10
Topic Ready? Wear your Researcher Shoes Now

• If you are citing a crime, be accurate with
  particulars involved. Check from multiple
  sources.
• Read online news articles for the latest
  developments. Read the newest events and debates
  on the death penalty.
• Check Wikipedia for references and other
  scholarly sources for exciting content.

11
Research Done? Now Organise and Draft

So far, youve got the topic and the facts. It
seems like we are halfway done. Now its the time
to organise the research and sort the gold from
the junk. Organize the data that you have got
from your research and sort them according to
relevance. Not all information that you have
found would be usable for you.
12

Prepare your Draft
After you have organised the data collected from
the research now, its time to create the
draft. On the draft, start with the body first.
If you organise and elaborate correctly, the
draft will be your final copy itself. Just start
with the body, move to the conclusion and keep
introductions for the last.
13

On the Body

• All your arguments will be elaborated along with
  your claims and the evidence in support of those.
• Open with your main argument and place your
  claims. Provide the evidence in support of it.
• Also, give examples of the claims that nullify
  yours and then present the rebuttal statements
  against those claims.

14

On the Conclusion

• This section should bring closure to your essay.
• Restate your thesis statement
• Summarize your whole argument and elaborate what
  the scenario will be like if your arguments are
  established.

15

On the Introduction

• This section introduces the reader to your essay
  and serves as the first point of contact.
• Try hooking the reader from the start by opening
  with a bang. Open with a quote on capital
  punishment or with a statistical data or two.
• Tie up the quote or data to your thesis
  statement.

16

All are Looking Good? Now Revise and Edit
So, finally, we are down to the proofreading
stage. This is the most critical part because
this stage decides the fate of your essay. You
will be able to remove the errors and mistakes
and make the essay flawless.
17

All are Looking Good? Now Revise and Edit
Check for factual errors Whenever you are using
statistical data in your essay make sure that
they are correct. Presenting unauthentic
statistics in your essay isnt a good
thing. Check for grammatical and spelling
mistakes Making mistakes in grammar and spelling
is just silly and is unacceptable in so many
ways. Check your draft word by word to see that
they have been avoided.

Sample Death Penalty Essay

Title-The Death Penalty Can murder be justified
when carried out by the state?
19

The Ideal State
Its quite easy to take the life of a person who
has been accused and proven guilty of taking a
life, the moral support for sentencing death
penalty for such a person is readily
available. The death penalty is an inhumane
measure that humiliates, in any way it is
pursued, human dignity. It is, of itself,
contrary to the Gospel because it is freely
decided to suppress a human life that is always
sacred. Pope Francis
20

Public Opinions
The general population is split on the topic of
death penalty, some think its the way of
reducing crime, some think its inhumane and
should be abolished while some taking the middle
ground by saying that death penalty should not be
sentenced but is to be reserved for the rarest
cases and the most heinous of crimes.
21
Some Points and Counterpoints

Given below are some points people raise in
favour of the death sentence and the arguments
against them.
22
Death Penalty Deters Crime

People who support the death penalty, often like
to utter their favourite argument, that fear of
punishment of death stops crime, which has
neither a scientific or sociological base.
Numerous studies have been conducted regarding
this topic, and nearly all of them state that
there is no correlation between death sentences
and the decrease in crime.
23

Death Penalty is more Humane than Lifetime
Incarceration
Another populist argument is that death penalty
is the more humane method of punishment than
lifetime incarceration. What can be more humane
than keeping one alive and more inhumane than
taking their lives and robbing them of their
right to live? Lifetime imprisonment sure sounds
much where a person is confined to a few square
blocks for the rest of their lives.
24
Death Penalty is more Economically Feasible

Although an argument can be made on humanitarian
grounds about what can be more valuable than
life, lets take a look at few things. In the US,
due to its irreversible nature. The death
penalty, being the most severe form of
punishment, must be handled carefully. When we
have power in our hands, so much so that we can
control someones right to life, we ought to more
careful and merciful.
