@farnyeligonzalez You are absolutely right, justice must be applied fairly and equitably to all citizens, regardless of their social status, race, gender or sexual orientation. It is also important to note that the death penalty can be misapplied, meaning that an innocent person could be sentenced to death for a crime they did not commit.

That is why it is important to have a strong justice system that ensures that cases are carefully reviewed and that every effort is made to ensure that no injustice is done. Furthermore, it is true that the certainty of being caught and punished may be a more effective factor than the severity of the punishment itself, since if people believe that there is a high probability of being caught and punished, they are less likely to commit crimes in first place.

Instead of focusing on harsh punishments like the death penalty, we should focus on preventing crime through policies and programs that address the underlying causes of crime, such as poverty, lack of access to education and health care, and the lack of economic opportunities. In this way, we can work to create safer and more just communities for all.
