RE: THE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT CONTROVERSY - PART 1: THE EFFECT OF DETERRENCE
Interesting read on a difficult subject. When a murder happens its difficult to think straight, I can imagine the Victims family would want revenge.
That could be true, even though in many debates I have seen on the subject, some victim families were against the death penalty since at some point they realized that revenge could never in fact help them 'move on'. Revenge though in nothing but a human emotion. Those in charge of forming laws about capital punishment should base their decisions on logic and evidence-based facts.
I agree, You can't make a decision when your angry or sad as we want to lash out. A difficult situation to be in, One I hope I never have to experience
