It should be "Is the death penalty necessary ..."

"against crimes" seems vague (which crimes?) and doesn't read tremendously well. Assuming the context makes it clear which crimes are meant, you could say "Is the death penalty necessary for these crimes?"

Maybe you want to say: Is the death penalty necessary to deter crime?
