The Death Penalty

Today we will discuss the ultimate formal negative sanction our society imposes: the Death Penalty.

Take your best guess at the true/false statements on p. 86-87. Visit Facts about the Death Penalty to check your answers. When you have finished, answer Reflection Question 1 on p. 87.

In the remaining time, we will begin watching "Race to Execution". We will complete this video tomorrow.

The Deviance Unit Test will be on Thursday, 4/19.

For homework before the test, read and take notes on ebook pages:

  • P.174-175 - The Power of Labels: the Saints and the Roughnecks
  • P.177-179 - Illegitimate Opportunity Structures: Social Class and Crime
  • P.181-182 - The Criminal Justice System as an Instrument of Oppression
  • P.184-185 - “The Strikes and You’re Out” Unintended Consequences of Well-Intented Laws
