The Problem of the Capital Punishment

1. Capital punishment was executed in Japan recently.

2. There are many arguments for and against about this punishment.

3. The abolition group insists that this penalty is infringing on a prisoner’s human right

4. The retainment group claims that it is required as a criminal deterrent.

5. I agree to abolition theory, because people mustn’t be executed by wrong judgment.

6. And in the US research, capital punishment hasn’t enough deterrent effect to all crime.

Japan’s New Jury System

1. The law system of citizen judge will come into effect.

2. According to new law, citizens are chosen at random and hear criminal trials with judges.

3. If you were chosen, you can not refuse it unless you have a good excuse.

4. However we don’t understand clear criterion.

5. We also have the problem that how many days it takes for the trial.

6. I wish the law to be clearly arranged and accepted widely by people.
