Introduction
The topic of the SBA is “Views of people in my village on the topic Capital
involves the legal killing of a person who has committed a serious crime such as murder. This
information is from the source: www.bartleby.com. Capital punishment is caused when you
break a law by means of stealing or killing. In most countries that have capital punishment, it
is used to punish only murder or war-related crimes. Another cause is opponents argue that
people don’t have the power to take another human being’s life; so, it encourages a culture of
violence that violates our human rights. Opponents also argue that the execution
discriminates against minorities and the poor. This information is from the source:
www.123helpme.com.
The effects of Capital Punishment are that the defendant can be wrongfully accused of such
and criminals sentenced to death. Another effect is that innocent people will die under this
system of punishment. Some solutions to this is restricted and that would have been on
capital punishment, it reduces exercises, phone calls or any other physical contact to the
minimal measure. Capital Punishment should be introduced to those persons who commit
criminal activities such as rapes, mass murder or killing of innocent human beings around the
distinguished from extra judicial executions carried out without due process of law.

Statement of the problem
Capital punishment
What are the views of people in my village have on the topic “Capital Punishment?”.
The researchers selected this area of research to broadly talk about why capital
punishment is a good way to get rid of criminals. It is simple saying that the penalties will be
carried out in the form of death. It classifies that if a person does his/her wrongs, they will
have to face capital punishment; for example: being hung by law or beaten to death.
The reason why the researcher selected this topic was to let people who are involved
in illegal activities takes in hand the responsibility in order to not face capital punishment.
The topic however, will also teach the younger generations about the aspect of life and the
laws in his/her country. These practices will make the world a better place to be living in
instead of having a country with people facing death penalties to lower its population.

Findings
The survey has revealed that a number of the respondents agreed to the fact that death
Official misconduct
Perjury or false accusation
False or misleading forensic evidence
These capital offences mostly consist of mostly misconduct from people in our
society. However, the effect of capital punishment is the differential or marginal deterrent
effect of execution over the deterrent effect of other available or commonly used penalties.
On the other hand, a solution could be put in place that after an individual is found guilty of
the “ultimate crime”, they would be sentenced to the “maximum penalty under the law”. The
prisoner than has two choices to either accept the death penalty to be carried out within the

One of the most important recommendations is the need for the researchers to know

For this to work, individuals should stop committing crimes and ensure the country is a safe
Members of the community can further play their parts by remembering that everyone
has a right to live, so for this strategy to be corrected. The killing and murders of humans
should be put to a stop and therefore there will be no death penalty for anyone to face. In
order to solve this problem individuals should ignore one when there is a conflict or
