The Death Penalty from A Sociological Perspective and Human Rights Enforcement
Keywords:
Death Penalty, Human Rights EnforcementAbstract
The death penalty is one of the most controversial types of punishment globally, with many
opinions supporting and opposing its implementation. Supporters of the death penalty often
base their arguments on conventional reasons, claiming it is necessary to eliminate individuals
deemed dangerous to public or state interests and irredeemable. Opponents argue that the death
penalty violates human rights and is an irreversible form of punishment, especially if errors in
judgment are discovered post-execution
