Crime And Punishment

"Upon reflecting on this issue, I concluded that in order to effectively reduce crime in our society, the government must focus on increasing and strengthening policies that support and protect citizens. While the existence of public authorities such as the police is fundamental for maintaining order, in a society where adequate support policies are not implemented, it is inevitable that crime will persist and spread.

Supporting citizens not only involves punitive measures but also the establishment of social, educational, and health programs that address the root causes of criminality. Crime prevention must be our priority, as providing opportunities and resources to individuals can significantly reduce the tendency to commit offenses.

Furthermore, I firmly oppose the death penalty. While there are crimes that deserve to be punished with very severe penalties, establishing capital punishment as a form of justice would lead us to a profound moral and ethical dilemma. By imposing death as a form of justice, we would be perpetuating a cycle of violence and revenge, in addition to undermining the fundamental principles of human dignity. It is crucial to remember that justice should seek rehabilitation and reintegration of individuals into society rather than merely disposing of them through extreme punishment.

In summary, to achieve a safer and fairer society, we must prioritize support for citizens and reject solutions that perpetuate violence. Only then can we build a future where crime is an exception rather than the norm."
