Answer to Question 1

Historically capital punishment was an accepted method of social control, but it is now heatedly debated. Those in favor see it as a needed deterrent; opponents describe it as cruel and unusual punishment. Research evidence does not support the idea of capital punishment as a deterrent to murder. There is some indication that fear of the death penalty has discouraged robbers from carrying guns.

Answer to Question 2

D
