Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften - Karibik, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: With the rise in the number of murders in the country, there have been subsequent calls not only by the present government but also by members of the public to reinstate the death penalty as a means of combating the escalating crime situation and thus punishing offenders for their actions. This paper seeks to firstly highlight the current state of the law regarding the death penalty. In addition, the strategic barriers that continue to exist which subsequently prevent the state from carrying out the death sentence will also be examined. Such barriers, though they may prove to be a challenge for any state that intends on retaining the death penalty, can however be removed and reformations can be made possible in order to make the death sentence effective.
