The good aspect of death penalty is that fear of death stop people from committing crimes .Besides, it guarantee that those who are really dangerous will neither commit their crimes again nor pass on undesirable hereditary traits to their children .In this way it protects society from many dangerous happenings.

Simons

But any fear of the capital punishment is greatly reduced by the decrease in the number of jurisdictions using it, by the uncertainty of detection, the long delays in court procedures, the decline in the number of executions, and by the nonpublic nature of executions. Statistical studies indicate that the use of the death penalty has no significant effect on either the frequency of capital crimes or the safety of law-enforcement officers.

By attaching this penalty to certain crimes, the law exerts a positive moral influence in the educational process. By strongly stigmatizing these acts, the law helps to develop attitudes of disgust and even horror for them .Besides, the deterrent influence of the death penalty reaches across state lines into jurisdictions that have abolished it , and so all are benefited by its continued use in some areas .

Wanner

Criminal should die because he has committed a horrible crime, and only his execution will satisfy the public and prevent it from taking the law into its own hands .It’s fair for those victims, especially for those who were killed by them .There is no substitute for the death penalty in giving retribution its maximum effectiveness .Without it, the criminals may soon come to see no difference between the breaking of a window and the fracturing of another’s skull.

Gordon

The universal desire for revenge must be stopped and regulated in modern society by legal retribution if order is to be maintained. Retribution functions interrelatedly with reformation and deterrence, both of which must be expressed in terms of society’s moral code .The principal function of retribution is to support this code and thus help unify society against those who violate it.
