Hello students, the question asked is, are resumption of federal executions likely to deter crimes? the federal execution means the capital punishment or we can say execution of certain people based on their crimes.
00:47
So coming to the question, it is saying that resumption of federal executions means that the federal government is again considering the resumption of capital punishments in for certain crimes which are heinous crimes.
01:07
Now the question asked is, if the federal government will resume the federal executions, can it deter the crimes? there are two sides of anything.
01:26
One group which supports that federal executions can really deter crimes.
01:38
They base their claim on the fact that human beings are rational actors and they analyze things before doing them.
01:53
They analyze the pros and cons, the negative and positive effects of anything and then only they do.
02:00
So if there is a capital punishment, this capital punishment will deter crimes by discouraging or deterring the potential criminals.
02:25
Which means that they argue that the capital punishment will keep at bay the potential criminals based on the capital punishment.
02:39
So people will think many times or thousands of times before doing any crime because they know there is a heavy price for that to pay.
02:51
So this is the theory of the group who supports the capital punishment or federal executions.
03:01
Another group or another thought which says that the capital punishment does not deter crimes...
