Dead or alive ?!

"Governments that have the death penalty continue to have higher homicide rates than those who do not." I believe that society should to be against capital punishment preferring other harsh punishments as a better deterrent of crime. There are other ways in which criminals can be punished instead of the death penalty, which only leads to more crime in society. My ambition in life was to create a "Pannomion" which is a utilitarian code of law. This not only proposed many legal and social reforms, but also moral principie on which they should be based. The philosophy by which my work is guided is utilitarianism which argues that the right act or policy is the one that causes "the greatest good for the greatest number of people" also known as "the greatest happiness principle" or the principle of utility. Instead of having the death penalty I proposed an ideal kind of prison, the "panopticon" where prisoners would be under constant supervision. Some benefits this new method could bring would be to decrease the amount of crimes. This “panopticon” creates a new way of viewing legislation and the law. The death penalty seems to create negative results toward the elimination of criminal acts. It only leads to more violence. Violence should not be used to fight violence. I truly believe in freedom of speech, free will, separation from state from church and human rights, where no one has the right to take the life of any other human being.
