Statement: Should a person found guilty in a rape case be given capital punishment? Arguments: I. Yes, such a harsh punishment will be able to reduce grievous crimes against women. This punishment will compel atrocious persons having similar bent of mind to change their behavior. II. No, any such step will endanger the life of the victim because the culprit might kill the victim to wipe out all the evidence .

Correct Answer: if only argument I is strong.

Explanation:

I is strong because a major reason behind any punishment is to create fear of the crime among other. II is not strong because no law works on the basis of fearing the criminal. For that matter, a criminal does not even like simple punishment. And so even when then there is no capital punishment involved, he will try to eradicate all the evidence.
