-R. v. Chaulk; A case which
involved a young Robert Chaulk who broke into a man’s house and bludgeoned the
owner to death. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and was later
deemed sane 4 months later. After his release he stabbed then beat his two
neighbours on New Year’s Day. Cases like this demonstrate a less than effective
Canadian rehabilitation program with a high recidivism rate. If the death penalty
were in effect this horrible crime could be stopped and repeat offenders like
Robert Chaulk wouldn’t kill again.
-The death penalty can help police gather more
information pertaining to a crime through plea bargains.
-It is effective in ending repeat
violent offenders. Although the inmates with life imprisonment terms may not be
a danger to society they can be very dangerous to other inmates and prison guards.
Violent offenders account for a large population of prison gangs who are known to organize and carry out attacks on prison guards and other prisoners.
