Crime and punishment

With crime and punishment essay rough drafts due Monday, I was wondering what ideas some people are talking about in there papers. Mine personally, I used capital punishment as a huge idea I am talking about that has taken almost half of my paper. There is so much to be said about capital punishment you could almost write an entire paper just on that. This is just one of the ideas I talk about in my paper. I would appreciate some shared ideas. Maybe they could help me as well as others who read this. So much to do in so little time.
