Stronger Death Penalties People commend a lot of crimes in many diverse countries. Korea is known for having a low crime rate. Even though Koreas crime rate is low, some horrible crimes still happen. A lot of crimes that happen in Korea are rape and murder. In other countries, people who committed murder usually deserve capital punishment. In Korea, when people commit murder, murderers get a life sentence instead of a capital punishment. There were people who would commit murder and deserve a capital punishment. They werent executed for years and for some cases, the capital punishment was taken away from them. Korea should have a stronger death penalty. Exploratory Research Situations On February 24th 2010(estimated), a girl was kidnapped, raped, and

murdered violently. Every single event happened in Bussan. When people had found her dead body, she was in a water tank naked. Also, lime powder and bricks were on top of her body to cover her up from people finding her. The police founded traces of strangled neck and rape. Later on march 10th 2010, the murderer was found. He was Kim Kil Tae, who was thirty-three years old, and who had a dangerous history. Kim Kil Tae had received 4

Kim Kil Tae incident, peoples death penalty has been changed to a life sentence (Kim). Also, some people who have been assigned capital punishment from more than ten years ago are still alive (left crime capers). Now, the criminals are receiving lighter punishments, or arent being executed. Giving them lighter punishment or more time will let the criminals to escape or to commit other crimes. Giving more time to the criminals can let them commit another murder in the jail. Also, the criminals will not feel guilty about what they have done if they deserve a lighter punishment. Capital punishment can prevent the same crime happening again

from the same person. This happened to a lot of criminals in Korea. Before Kim Kil Tae committed his crime, he had gone to jail and had raped many other people. This can mean that one person can commit many crimes. This also had happened to Kim Jang Ho. He have received life sentence. He had raped and murdered an eleven years old girl. Before he committed that crime, he went to jail for two years for raping a girl. This shows how a person can commit multiples of crimes (Youngsan Elementary Student Raped and Murdered). 5

6 Chung Stronger death penalty can stop other criminals from committing

crimes. Stronger death penalty and actually applying the death penalty can inspire other people from committing other crimes. It can give them a fresh shock by showing a clear vision of what will happen to them if they do something bad like the criminal that is being executed. It will also show the power of the punishment and show the criminals that they actually meant it when they assigned them a death penalty. Conclusion Stronger death penalties will be essential to keep Korea a safe

country. Korea can become a stronger country by having to enforce stronger death penalties. Also, stronger death penalties can prevent same crime happening from the same person again and can stop other criminals from committing crimes. I hope that Korea can come up with better solutions to protect the country and have stronger death penalties. References Yang, Jw. "Update on the Arrested Rapist/Killer Kim Kil-tae." Arirang.co.kr.
