O knihe
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject History - America, University of North Florida, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: According to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Fall 2006 report, the total
number of death row inmates amounts to 3,344. There are roughly 41 percent black and 45 percent
white prisoners awaiting their execution. Since the reinstatement of capital punishment in 1976,
1047 people have been executed. (Death Row 1, 5). Among all U.S. states allowing the death
penalty, California, Texas and Florida have the most criminals on death row (Death Row 29).
Normally, major reasons in favor of capital punishments are retribution, deterrence, and the
general protection of society. Many people experience poetic justice and indemnification when
murderers receive their death sentences. They disregard the unproportional, high cost of the capital
punishment process which evolves due to repeated appeals and prisoners spending years or even
decades on death row (Banner 295).
