Abstract

The application of the death penalty as a punishment for severe crimes has long been a controversial topic in legal and criminological discourse. This article explores the impact of the death penalty's application on reducing crime rates from two main perspectives: law and criminology. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth literature analysis of death penalty policies in various countries, as well as empirical data on crime trends before and after the implementation of the death penalty. From a legal perspective, this article examines how the death penalty is justified as the most extreme tool of law enforcement and how it is integrated within the existing legal framework in several jurisdictions. From a criminological point of view, this article examines theories and research that evaluate the effectiveness of the death penalty as a determinant against crime. The analysis includes a study of the psychological effects of the death penalty on potential offenders, as well as a statistical evaluation of the correlation between the death penalty and a decrease in crime rates. The results of the analysis show that although there is some evidence to support the effectiveness of the death penalty as a crime deterrent, this evidence is often inconclusive and influenced by many contextual factors. In addition, we found that the application of the death penalty usually carries significant ethical and social implications, which can limit its effectiveness and acceptance in society. This article concludes with a discussion of the policy implications of these findings. It provides recommendations for law enforcement and policymakers in balancing crime prevention goals with the principles of justice and human rights. We also call for the need for more holistic research to fully understand the impact of the death penalty on crime levels.

Abstract

Basically, the evidentiary system is a regulation regarding the type of evidence that can be used, the description of the evidence, and the ways in which the evidence is used and the way the judge must form his beliefs before the court. Evidence is one of the most important aspects brought in and prepared by the parties (Plaintiff and Defendant) in proving the truth of a legal event. Viewed from the parties in the case, evidence can be interpreted as a tool or effort that can be used by the parties in the case to convince the judge before the court. When viewed from the perspective of the court examining the case, evidence means tools or efforts that can be used by the judge to decide the case. So, this evidence is needed by justice seekers and also by the court. A dispute or case cannot be resolved without evidence, meaning that if the plaintiff's claim is not based on evidence then the case will also be decided by the judge but by rejecting the claim because it is not proven. The evidence presented by the parties in court varies, including written evidence, witness statements, allegations, confessions and oaths.
