Introduction:
Capital punishment also called as death penalty is the execution of an offender sentenced to death after conviction by a court of law. The debate on whether to abolish the death penalty or not, has been raging in India and in several other countries for decades.
Brutal rapes in India have not decreased despite enforcement of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 which is a piece of legislation which prescribes the death penalty and life imprisonment for sexual assaults. No study has shown that the death penalty deters murder more than life imprisonment.
The debate around the death penalty has kicked in again as the four convicts of Nirbhaya Rape case are due to be hanged soon.

Problems with death penalty:
Necessity of Death Penalty:
The need to abolish Death Penalty:
The Law Commission of India has attempted to analyse the need for the death penalty.
Conclusion:
Two-thirds of countries in the world has abolished it. India certainly does not need it as it serves no purpose. The evidence is all to the contrary. For deterrence to work, the severity of the punishment has to coexist with the certainty and swiftness of the punishment.
