How does knowledge impact the public's response to §the death penalty? Supreme Court Justice Thurgood §Marshall hypothesized that if the public knew the §realities of the death penalty, they would be less §likely to support it. Justice Marshall cited such §variables as morality, the error rate, the cost of §execution, and discrimination as areas that would §sway public opinion. To test this hypothesis, Dr. §Mitchell divided research participants into a §control group and an experimental group. Both groups §were given a pre and post test that measured §attitudes toward the death penalty. In addition, the §experimental group was exposed to Marshall's §variables, videos casting doubt on conviction, §lecture material on the death penalty and required §to write a term paper. Descriptive and inferential §tests were administered to identify patterns between §the two groups. Dr. Mitchell's findings are §captivating and will fuel the death penalty debate. §This book expounds on the thinking of one of §America's greatest minds - Supreme Court Justice §Thurgood Marshall. It should be required reading of §all who study, support, oppose, legislate, or §administer the death penalty.
