In most countries that practice capital punishment it is now reserved for murder,
countries sexual crimes, such as rape, adultery, incest, and sodomy, carry the
nations, the formal renunciation of the state religion, blasphemy, and witchcraft.
In many countries that use the death penalty, drug trafficking is also a capital
offense. In China, human trafficking and serious cases of corruption are punished
by the Death Penalty. In militaries around the world courts-martial have imposed
mutiny.

judicial process rather than to abolish the death penalty. In abolitionist countries,
the debate is sometimes revived by particularly brutal murders though few
countries have brought it back after abolishing it. However, a spike in serious,

members of staff of the Army Public School and Degree College Peshawar were

crimes like rape and homicide to serve as a lesson to the suspects, an eye for an

evidence that Death Penalty is more effective than Life Imprisonment, though
many people disagree with him. Some also say that Death Penalty should not be
tolerated because it violates the right of a human to live and they should be more
focused about the situation of the victim. Victims have rights also because they

Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study that the researchers compiled will cover on the history of Death
Penalty and how important it is on our society. It will also focus on how Death
Penalty affects our environment. Death Penalty was implemented a long time
ago in order to lessen the crimes happening worldwide. Its main purpose is to
punish those people who violates the laws and has done many grave offenses. In
this certain topic, we will be able to learn the reasons why people are supporting
Death Penalty and also know why are there people who oppose to this

to gather the data needed in order to determine the perception of the teachers
members. The study would be conducted for a certain period of time until March
of 2018. Death Penalty violates the rights of a human person specifically the right
to live. Death penalty also can result to punishing people who are innocent and it
is also not humane and can't be redone. People may agree with death penalty
some may not agree because it violates human rights. Death penalty costs a lot
of money because it goes through a lot of due processes of law and conducts
investigation that will prove if the convict is guilty or not. According to a former
executioner, killing a human can cause depression out of guilt. Some of these
people commit suicide because they are being swallowed by their conscience or
others have to suffer for the rest of their lives because of ending a human
person’s life. One of the weaknesses of this study is that it is only limited to the

Significance of the Study
Death Penalty is an important tool for preserving law and order, deters crime,
and costs less than life imprisonment. They argue that retribution or “an eye for
an eye” honors the victim, helps console grieving families, and ensures that the

particular law can be able to discipline criminals and may prevent them from
doing such crimes. The researchers' study would benefit people who are
convicted but they aren't the ones who committed such a crime. The study would
be beneficial because it would help people that are criticized of the false
statement that is laid upon them. The study will help the convicted to go through
certain processes that will let the convict show proof that he or she is innocent.
This study benefits the government because through the opinion of the people
the government will be able to decide in how they go through with the crimes. It
also benefits the people because it makes them more aware of the happenings in
the society and it gives them more knowledge about Death Penalty.
