Decisions, Decisions Current Issues: Death Penalty is part of the Decisions, Decisions Current Issues series.

In recent years the number of criminals put to death has been rising. The death penalty is the most severe penalty a state can give to a murderer. Currently, most U.S. states use the death penalty. Many people believe that execution is the only appropriate punishment for murder. Others believe that killing criminals sets a bad example for citizens and raises the level of violence in society. The Supreme Court has recently agreed to examine the ethics involved in the death penalty.

Should murders receive a punishment that fits their crime? It is right for the government to execute people? What do you think?
