The result of the survey
20 people answered the survey we posted on
this blog on June 25th.
Most of them are around 20 years old. I appreciate people who cooperate for us.
I would like to summarize the result of the survey.
2 people “have not decided.”
・I think death penalty is an effective way to penalize people
People who think death penalty “should be banded” said…
・People don’t have the right to take lives of others.
・It is too cruel.
2. Is the death penalty really appropriate?
13 people think it is appropriate.
7 people think it is NOT appropriate.
・It makes only another conflict
7 people answered “No”.
Some of them said…
・This is because they are human, too.
------------------------------------------
I was surprised that the number of the people who think death penalty should be allowed is bigger than the number of the people think death penalty should be banned.
Most of them are around 20 years old. I appreciate people who cooperate for us.
I would like to summarize the result of the survey.
1.
Do you think the death penalty
should be banned or allowed? Why?
11 people think death penalty “should be
allowed”
7 people think death penalty “should be banded”2 people “have not decided.”
People who think death penalty “should be
allowed” said…
・The person who killed people should be done the same thing・I think death penalty is an effective way to penalize people
People who think death penalty “should be banded” said…
・People don’t have the right to take lives of others.
・It is too cruel.
2. Is the death penalty really appropriate?
13 people think it is appropriate.
7 people think it is NOT appropriate.
3.
Do you believe in "an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"?
11 people answered “Yes”.
9 people answered “No”.
Some of them said…
・When it comes to death penalty, I think so.・It makes only another conflict
4.
Do you think condemned criminals
should be allowed to meet their families before getting killed?
13 people answered “Yes”.7 people answered “No”.
・This is because they are human, too.
5.
What do you think the minimum
age for the death penalty should be?
The most people answered the minimum age
for the death penalty should be 20 years old. This is because 20 is the age
that regarded an adult.
I was surprised that the number of the people who think death penalty should be allowed is bigger than the number of the people think death penalty should be banned.
Also the result that more people think condemned
criminals should be allowed to meet their families before getting killed is impressive
to me. I empathize with the comment which said “This is because they are human,
too”.
I hope people who answered the survey would think about death penalty once again.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Living conditions of condemned people
Even when defendants have not received confirmation of their sentence, they must
adhere to a very strict time schedule at the detention center. Therefore, they
do not have enough time to prepare for their trial.

Who is the most famous condemned in Japan?
One of the most famous condemneds in Japan
is Shoko Asahara whose real name is Chizuo Matsumoto. He was the leader of
Japanese cult “Aum Shinrikyo”. He was convicted for the sarin gas attack on the
Tokyo subway in 1995 and other crimes. 13 people were killed in the sarin gas
attack on the Tokyo subway.
Shoko Asahara
In 2004, he was sentenced to death but his
