In your view, what objective does Capital Punishment represent ?

  • A.Retribution
  • B.Self Expiation
  • C.Reformation
  • D.Rehabilitation

Answer: A

Capital punishment represents retribution as its objective: the offender pays with his life for the life he took, and society takes revenge for the gravest crimes on the principle of an eye for an eye. It is also justified by deterrence and incapacitation, but retribution is the objective most closely tied to it.

Self expiation means the offender atones through his own suffering, while reformation and rehabilitation aim to change the offender into a law abiding person, which is not possible if he is put to death.
