It's free! Save it. Lester (1987) gave a list of twenty criminal acts to college students and police officers and found that the police officers checked an average of 10.7 acts as meriting the death penalty while the college students checked 8.6. The present Study was designed in part to explore how adolescents responded to this questionnaire as compared to college students. In other research on attitudes toward the death penalty, Starr (1983) reported that women were less in favor of capital punishment than were men, while McKelvie (1983) reported that extraversion scores were positively associated with favoring the death penalty. The present study was also designed to explore whether gender and personality predict attitudes toward the death penalty.
Extractions: Students Take Action to Abolish the Death Penalty by Alison Booth Wednesday, February 28 fell smack in the middle of Concord High School's mid-winter vacation. But at 2:30 p.m., a crowd of students emerged from the school and gathered in the driveway. Carrying signs saying "Don't Veto Forgiveness," "Execute Justice Not People," and "Vote Yes on HB 171," they lined up to march downtown. It had already been a long day, as most of the students had spent the whole morning at the high school, attending a conference on death penalty abolition. There was still a full afternoon of action ahead, and they were just getting warm. These activists were a part of the Student Day of Action Against the Death Penalty-a day-long event bringing youth together for learning, skills-building, and action to demand the passage of HB 171-FN, an act abolishing the death penalty in New Hampshire. The Day of Action was organized by New Hampshire Students Against the Death Penalty, and sponsored by AFSC with NH Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Amnesty International, and NH Social Justice Monthly. Forty students from a dozen high schools, home schools, and colleges participated in workshops, a march, lobbying, and a rally for abolition throughout the course of the day. The event began with a panel on "Why I Oppose the Death Penalty", featuring Renny Cushing of Murder Victim's Families for Reconciliation and lawyer Andru Volinsky. Renny explained MVFR's position that another murder never helped victim's families heal. Andy spoke from his experience defending capital cases in Tennessee, from which he concluded that there is no fair and just way to implement capital punishment. Then students chose between workshops on "The Case Against the Death Penalty," "Holding Productive Discussions on the Death Penalty," and "The U.S. Criminal Justice System."

Extractions: At the dawn of the 21st century, the death penalty is considered by most civilized nations as a cruel and inhuman punishment. It has been abolished de jure or de facto by 106 nations, 30 countries have abolished it since 1990. However, the death penalty continues to be commonly applied in other nations. China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States and Iran are the most prolific executioners in the world. Indeed, the US is one of six countries (including also Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen) which executes people who were under 18 years-old at the time they committed their crimes. While international documents have restricted and in some cases even banned the death penalty, its application is still not against customary international law. Much debate continues in the US as to whether it constitutes an appropriate punishment, at least to the most heinous crimes. In recent years, the debate has been further fueled by the use of new technologies which have shown that a large proportion of people sentenced to death are, indeed, innocent.

New Hampshire Students Protest Death Penalty Supporters of a bill to abolish the death penalty, which was vetoed last spring by Gov. Organizers, who included college and high school students, http://www.nhcadp.org/new_hampshire_students_protest.htm
Extractions: Thursday, March 1, 2001, Concord Monitor By AMANDA PARRY Monitor Staff CONCORD-A group of 30 students marched down Main Street toward the State House yesterday carrying hand-lettered signs on sticks, that read, "The death penalty is a hate crime" and "Don't Kill For Me." Two security officers watched from a window in the foyer of the State House. "All we are saying, is give peace a chance," one of them sang softly, and both laughed. The small group couldn't expect to win respect right away. Not from an institution that has seen more protests than yesterday's protestors have seen sunsets. But dealing with a less than receptive audience was all part of the experience. Learning how to take a stand and become active in the political arena was the focus of a day-long event sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee, the New Hampshire Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and Amnesty International. The topic of protest was not picked at random. Supporters of a bill to abolish the death penalty, which was vetoed last spring by Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, have pushed for a repeal. Organizers, who included college and high school students, said they thought students should be involved. Getting the word out and helping students mobilize was the next logical step.
