Abstrakt: | This article aims to present polemical exchanges over capital punishment
that were conducted in interwar Poland. By using the analytical method
and the source texts found in the press and the minutes of the Codification
Committee, the author wants to trace the evolution of views on the death
penalty and its usefulness in the state policy. The opinions on the subject
differed considerably which was common not only for the interwar period.
Back in the 19th century, when the first statements on capital punishment
had been published in newspapers, they had ended with completely
different conclusions. Advocates for the abolition of the death penalty had
emphasized first of all its ineffectiveness as well as the doubts of a religious
and moral nature, which had led to a conclusion that the state could not
take away a person’s life. Whereas supporters of the death penalty had
believed that, in view of the low level of civilisation development of
individual communities, giving up the possibility to impose the death
sentence could have contributed to an uncontrolled rise in crime rates.
They had also emphasized that public opinion demanded the retaining of
capital punishment and acting against it would have resulted in various
manifestations of public unrest. The death penalty had not been abolished
in Poland during the interwar period but the exchange of arguments
during those years had laid the foundations for the future changes in
that area. They occurred at the end of the 20th century. |
