In 1975, economics professor of Chicago University published result of the study about that a death penalty suppresses 8 counts of murder cases. Also a study released recently said a death penalty prevents 18 count of murder cases. But another study said that connection between percentage of execution and a crime rate have no legs to stand on.
A trader DongJo Kim said, " According to common sense of Economics, If Someone think that he or she are executed in case of killing somebody, It increases blame of murder so the incentive of murder is decreased." based on the his book " Economics of mostly everything. "
▲Result of the poll : a death penalty about sex offender
Increase of crimes about second-class citizen such as children or female and occurrence of dreadful crimes result in strong public support for death penalty.
There are numerous examples of sexual assault. For example, lately, what is called the incident of Dusun Jo or sexual assault that schoolchild is kidnapped while she was asleep and accident that one father had a stroke because his 4-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted .
DongJo Kim said, "After the sexual assault incident hat deceived a Middle school girl into getting in his car by saying he help her, Opinions that the committer must be killed have been posted on the SNS from many users with anger." But he worried execution of a death penalty about the crime not at murder is morally incorrect and can cause troublesome side effects."
Because This situation Increases the incentive of murder. It may inspire criminal who hesitate killing to kill victim in order to run away and avoid police investigation
Also he warned providing wrong incentive is very dangerous thing by pressure of public opinion. Although collecting public opinion for policy making is very important.
If we look back at modern history, we can find many examples that government decided to kill political prisoner as judicial murder. In fact, this execution of a death penalty is nothing more or less than a murder committed by government so he emphasized that it cannot be justified under any circumstances .
▲A notorious criminal : Giltae Kim
Lately, a politician advanced a bill that implement castration to sex offender. This view became an object of ridicule. for instance, ' if somebody steal something, he or she are forced to cutoff a finger.' Although this bill include desire of nation.
"Economics of mostly everything." explains popular demand along with politics is not always economically efficient, moral and politically correct.
*summary :
Most people consider sexual assault atrocious crimes. So they strongly support execution of a death penalty about sex offender. But we have to see the situation from a different angle. The fear of death penalty may inspire criminal to kill victim in order to run away and avoid police investigation. Thus we must know that popular demand is not always reasonable.

I think that you did more work that you had to. For this assignment, I stated that you only needed to do a summary (not paraphrase/complete translation. However, doing more than required is not a bad thing :-) I obviously didn't make this clear because I'm adding this same message to many of the postings.
ReplyDelete"economics professor of Chicago University" -> "an economics professor at the University of Chicago"
"But he worried execution of a death penalty about the crime not at murder is morally incorrect and can cause troublesome side effects" -> I'm not sure exactly what this means. Can you restate it?
I like your summary. It is a good overview, though not many specific pieces of information from the original.
