I really found it interesting, especially as it was backed up with solid research and statistics. I'm from the UK and am not an advocate of the death penalty. I like to think that the best 'revenge' is to see justice being served and the criminal being locked away for a long time so that (a) they don't hurt anyone else and (b) the victim/victim's family get some kind of closure. I don't know if this is the kind of revenge that you refer to as I think it's a softer more acceptable appraoch than the death penalty but I think that it will be tough to get rid of revenge altogether, but at least there are other avenues that are more humane, if you follow my meaning.

Local politics, the location of the crime, plea bargaining, and pure chance affect the process and make it a lottery of who lives and dies he death penalty is arbitrary and unfair. 95% of death row inmates cannot afford their own attorney.

I don't agree with death penalty. I think it strips people of human dignity. Just because these criminals disregarded dignity when they committed those crimes doesn't we should sink to their level. Death penalty is murder - the only difference is, the law backs it up. Great insights. I don’t agree with death penalty. I think it strips people of human dignity.

The "brutalization" effect of the death penalty is alone enough to turn me off, and the rest is just icing on the cake after that. Never, never, never would I support this abhorrent practice.
