In the middle of Act 1, Scene 1, the Prince plans to use the death penalty to enforce peace on the
streets of Verona. Ona scale from 1 (terrible) and 10 (excellent), how good of an idea do you think
this is? Does the death penalty help a society to enforce its laws? Explain your answer.

1 (terrible)

Explanation:

The use of the death penalty by the Prince, as well as any contemporary government, as a means to enforce peace, in addition to being contradictory, is an ineffective method to enforce the law.

Not only it sends a moral message that legitimizes the exact action that capital punishment is supposed to suppress: killing people. Furthermore, if used for other kinds of crimes, it becomes terribly disproportionate punishment to any wrongdoing.

There´s even a lot of research demonstrating that the death penalty, compared to different punishments such as life or long-term imprisonment, is not more effective as a deterrent for crime.
