Capital Punishment: Arguments for Life and Death Jennifer C. Honeyman and James R.P. Ogloff Reprinted from the Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science Volume 28: 1 January, 1996 Abstract Method Results Discussion ... Arguments For and Against the Death Penalty Abstract Despite capital punishment having been abolished in Canada 20 years ago, the majority of Canadians continue to favour the death penalty as a sentencing option. In this study, a 2 x 6 design was employed to investigate the effects that argument position (for or against the death penalty) and type of justification for punishment (deterrence, morality, rehabilitation, incapacitation, economic, and possibility of mistake) have on participants' sentence recommendations for a defendant found guilty of first degree murder. Results indicated that only those arguments in favour of the death penalty, based on retribution, economics, and impossibility of mistake, were effective in influencing participants to recommend that the accused be sentenced to death. Compared to participants who recommended a life sentence, those who recommended the death penalty were found to have significantly higher scores on a measure of vengeance. A lthough the Parliament of Canada abolished the death penalty as a sentencing option in 1976 (Amnesty International, 1987), a majority of Canadians (approximately 65-75%) have indicated that they would support a return of the death penalty (Reid, 1987). Furthermore, calls for the reintroduction of the death penalty by politicians and others occur frequently. As a result of the public's apparent support for capital punishment, and the possibility of its return, it is important to continue studying factors that influence people's attitudes regarding the death penalty.

VOL. 6 NO. 10 (October , 1996) PP.149-152. AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: THE ANTI-DEATH PENALTY MOVEMENT IN AMERICA, 1972-1994 by Herbert H. Haines. New York: Oxford University Press, 1996. 253 pp. Cloth $35.00. Reviewed by Dennis D. Dorin (DDDORIN @ email.uncc.edu), Department of Political Science, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Sociologist Herbert Haines has attempted to apply "social constructionist theories of social problems" and "social movement analysis" to America's anti-death penalty activism, especially of the post-1972 years. His primary focus is the behavior of the Legal Defense Fund, the America Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International USA and the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penaltypoorly funded organizations drawing primarily upon a narrow band of white, liberal, middle-class professionals as they largely unsuccessfully battle against the wave of capital punishment engulfing American society. The centerpiece of Haines's data is comprised of interviews with fifty or so of the leading figures in the anti-capital punishment movement, as well as 5,000 pages of documents from their colleagues' and their files. For Haines, there are four "abolitionist eras" in American history. Of the two most recent, the third was dominated by the movement's litigators and more or less reached its crescendo with FURMAN V. GEORGIA (1972), whose demand for an elevated level of due process in capital cases led, during a four-year period, to the invalidation of every death penalty statute in the country. But the leitmotif of the present fourth is that the days of sweeping legal victories are largely over. For, from the early stages of Ronald Reagan's presidency, the federal courts could no longer be counted upon significantly to limit the application of capital sanctions.

Sociology or Browse by Subject cloth In Stock Standard paper In Stock Standard Table of Contents Against Capital Punishment The Anti-Death Penalty Movement in America, 1972-1994 HERBERT H. HAINES While most western democracies have renounced the death penalty, capital punishment enjoys vast and growing support in the United States. A significant and vocal minority, however, continues to oppose it. Against Capital Punishment is the first full account of anti-death penalty activism in America during the years since the ten-year moratorium on executions ended. Building on in-depth interviews with movement leaders and the records of key abolitionist organizations, this work traces the struggle against the pro-death penalty backlash that has steadily gained momentum since the 1970s. It reviews the conservative turn in the courts which, over the last two decades, has forced death penalty opponents to rely less on the litigation strategies that once served them well. It describes their efforts to mount a broad-based educational and political assault on what they see as the most cruel, racist, ineffective, and expensive manifestation of a criminal justice system gone wrong. Despite the efforts of death-penalty opponents, executions in the United States are on the increase.

M ORAL D EBATES O F O UR T IMES A BORTION The year began in 1998 with numerous media reflections on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark Roe vs. Wade decision and the thirty to thirty-five million abortions that the ruling legalized. (In fact, three years earlier in 1995, Norma McCorvey [known as Jane Roe], the woman whose fight for the right to an abortion led to the 1973 Supreme Court decision, said that she disavowed her position and had been baptized by the national head of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue.) In January of that year, a New York Times /CBS News telephone survey of 1,101 Americans found one- half viewing "abortion [as] the same thing as murdering a child" and a general preference toward restricting the procedure. For instance, when asked whether a pregnant woman should be able to get a legal abortion if her pregnancy would force her to interrupt her career, only 25% said yesdown from 37% in 1989. With the conclusion of this anniversary year, studies of The Alan Guttmacher Institute found a decrease in the number of abortion providers in the United States and reported the lowest abortion rate since 1975.

Pro-Life, Anti-Death Penalty? By James R. Kelly and Christopher Kudlac AMERICA for Apr. 1, 2000. James R. Kelly is a professor of sociology at Fordham University. Christopher Kudlac , a graduate student at Fordham, prepared the data. Cardinal Joseph Bernardin articulated a consistent ethic of life, which included opposition to both abortion and the death penalty, in 1985. Ten years later, in his encyclical The Gospel of Life, Pope John Paul II taught that opposing capital punishment should be part of a pro-life witness for a culture of life that promotes human dignity and solidarity. The National Conference of Catholic Bishops as well as individual bishops across the country have repeated the teaching. Have Catholics in general and pro-lifers in particular been listening to this message from their church's hierarchy? Are abortion opponents becoming less likely to support capital punishment? And what about pro-choice supporters? Where do they stand on the death penalty? Until recently, opposition to capital punishment was widely assumed to be part of any politics characterized as "progressive." Are pro-choice advocates consistently progressive? To answer these questions, we will review the data from the General Social Survey (G.S.S.) of the University of Michigan for the early 1980's and more recently. Abortion and the Death Penalty, 1982

20. Capital Punishment Short essay in defense of capital punishment.Category Society Issues death Penalty Supporting Views...... antideath penalty advocates argue that imprisonment itself could deter criminals. HugoAdam Bedau in his article, capital punishment and Social Defense http://www.bridgeport.edu/~darmri/capital.html

Capital Punishment Deterrence means to punish somebody as an example and to create fear in other people for the punishment. Death penalty is one of those extreme punishments that would create fear in the mind of any sane person. Ernest van den Haag, in his article "On Deterrence and the Death Penalty" mentions, "One abstains from dangerous acts because of vague, inchoate, habitual and, above all, preconscious fears" (193). Everybody fears death, even animals . Most criminals would think twice if they knew their own lives were at stake. Although there is no statistical evidence that death penalty deters crime, but we have to agree that most of us fear death. Suppose there is no death penalty in a state and life imprisonment without parole is the maximum punishment. What is stopping a prisoner who is facing a life imprisonment without parole to commit another murder in the prison? According to Paul Van Slambrouck, " Death penalty is good and serves a definite purpose of reducing crime as well as bringing justice to the criminals and innocent. In order to serve its purpose, it must be adjusted and made more effective and efficient. The justice system has changed dramatically in the past thirty years in order to make sure that the rightly accused is brought to justice. I believe that death penalty should not be abolished, as it ensures the safety of the society, brings justice to those who have suffered and most importantly helps in reducing crime and criminals in our society. Death penalty is important to keep the brightness of justice and public safety shining brightly on our society.
