Question.1171 - The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the death penalty does not violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on "cruel and unusual" punishment. The Court, however, has limited the classes of people and crimes that are death-penalty eligible. The following prompt gives you an opportunity to weigh the pros/cons of the death penalty.Do empirical studies provide support for the idea that the death penalty deters crime? Do other punishment theories, such as retribution, provide compelling reason for states to continue to impose the death penalty? Using concrete examples and references to course materials, please explain your position.
