It is easy to be against the death penalty in the abstract, but how would one feel if ones close relative or friend was murdered?
A. An execution can never restore the life or lessen the loss for the family of the relative. Proper response to the very real needs of the relatives of the victims of crime is essential. However, an execution also causes grief and pain to the family of an executed prisoner. The channeling of resources into more effective law enforcement, counselling and compensation for the victims’ families are among the measures which can help the families and help to prevent further crime.
