Abstract

THIS paper discusses the reconsideration of the issue of imposing the death penalty for the most serious crimes. There is given a survey and comparison of different social systems in which the death penalty still exists (USA), those in which it has been abolished (EU) to those countries where its re-establishment and introduction into criminal legislation is requested (Turkey). Through this research whose results will be presented, we will try to explain the different profile experts` attitude in our country regarding the death penalty and its generally preventive significance.
