Capital Punishment

To complete this assignment, you will need to conduct additional research using scholarly journals only. You must utilize a minimum of (2) two scholarly references in the assignment. Scholarly resources are considered: peer-reviewed journal articles (i.e.: ProQuest), government websites, textbooks, and criminal justice publications. Failure to provide appropriate references will result in a large point deduction.

You can access scholarly journals by clicking on the Library Link in the Course Introduction section.

In a 4-5-page (1500 word) essay you will address the following points:

• Discuss      the history of capital punishment.
• What      current methods are utilized for the death penalty (as of 2018)?
• How many      states removed capital punishment in the United States?
• Provide a      case study (example of a recent case) and discuss one case in which the      defendant was given capital punishment (any case within the past ten      years).
• Do you      agree? Why or why not?
