Capital Punishment or Death Penalty...
Capital punishment is the practice of executing someone as punishment for a specific crime after a proper legal trial. It can only be used by a state, so when non-state organisations speak
of having 'executed' a person they have actually committed a murder.

The Benefit, the corruption case may decreased. Because, this kind of punishment will give an impact both to the corruptor and someone who's never do a corruption. It will makes people afraid to have a corruption or at least, makes people think twice before doing a corruption. And beside, it will give a bigger effects.
Disadvantages of this punisment are:
1. Risks executions of innocent people. If a person was stated guilty and got a death penalty, but later, he's proven innocent, there's nothing can be done anymore because that person is dead already.
2. It doesn't prevent or reduce crimes. It might be, but, it might be not as well, right?
3. Its immoral or harms human rights. Because the consequences are life and death. And every single people on this earth have human rights. Giving a death penalty then means, you're taking someone's life, their rights of living.
4. It prolong suffering for victims' families.
So, the conclution, I think capital punishment isn't needed at least, maybe for now. Rather than that, why don't we just tighter the regulations, monitors the suspected people more carefully and increasing self-awareness so that we will not become a corruptor later, on the future.
