Question

1. those who cite prevention of additional murders as justification for the death penalty are arguing from ( select answer ) perspective.

options:
a deterrence
a virtue
a retributivist
a feminist

proponents of restorative justice admit that it is not appropriate for all crimes, especially in situations where offenders are unable or unwilling to take responsibility or make amends. the outrage, harm, and injustice of murder seem to call for the harshest punishment, which may be why murder remains one of the only crimes punishable by death (at least in some states within the united states). however, we should note that advocates of restorative justice are often opposed to the death penalty. for example, the u.s. conference of catholic bishops, which maintains that the human dignity of crime victims and perpetrators should both be respected, rejects the death penalty as part of a broader theological and philosophical commitment to a \culture of life.\
