Capital punishment: for and against (Chapter 5, ECPE Challenge)



To help you along with the essay on capital punishment at the end of Unit 5 in ECPE Challenge, here are some links to discussions on the issues involved.

1. A summary of the arguments for the death penalty, with counter-arguments, 
from the BBC Ethics page

2. A BBC Radio 4 documentary on the death penalty in the U.S. state of Tennessee, and prospects for its abolition.

3. A Washington Post position article (Nov. 2017) asking why the death penalty still exists in the USA, with multiple arguments against it.

Lastly, don't forget to look at the wealth of other material on the topic already published on this blog. Search for "capital punishment". Happy hunting!
