I was mugged earlier. Shouldn't criminals like that be executed to ensure the safety of people in the community?

While some people support the death penalty as a form of retribution against criminals, the issue is highly controversial, and execution is not a practical option in most countries due to constitutional restrictions and international law. Additionally, research has shown that capital punishment is not a more effective deterrent against crime than other forms of punishment, and can lead to other issues such as racial and socio-economic bias in the administration of the penalty. Instead, efforts should focus on preventing crime and making sure offenders are given adequate support and treatment, rather than harsh punishment.
