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

While there is some merit to executing criminals who commit heinous crimes, the death penalty is not a suitable punishment in all instances. Moreover, executions are not always effective in ensuring public safety - there have been cases in which repeat offenders have gone on to commit additional crimes even after their execution. Ultimately, effective punishment and rehabilitation are necessary components of any society to ensure the safety of citizens.
