Unit 6 Assignment: Death Penalty: Retributivist v. Utilitarian
Theories
In this assignment, imagine that your state legislature is
considering repealing its death penalty and the legislators wish
to hear the opinions of the top legal philosophers on both sides
of the death penalty debate - imagine yourself as a modern day
Jeremy Bentham and present three utilitarian arguments against
the death penalty and therefore in favor of its repeal. Then, step
into the shoes of a modern day Immanuel Kant and present to
the legislature three retributivist arguments in favor of the death
penalty and therefore, in opposition to its repeal. For each side
of the debate, present each argument in detail, using headings
and subheadings to keep your paper well-organized so that it
will serve as a useful resource for your state legislators to be
able to clearly grasp the key arguments on both sides. Include at
least two examples to illustrate the arguments on each side.
In addition, the state legislators would like to hear your
assessment of which theory of punishment, utilitarian or
retributivist, you find most persuasive. Compare the
persuasiveness of the two theories and provide a
recommendation of which theory the legislators should follow
(utilitarian for repeal of the state’s death penalty or retributivist
for retention of the state’s death penalty).
Supplement your discussion with material from at least two
sources other than the textbook (Chapter 4 of the Murphy
textbook is an excellent starting point). Be sure to cite your
sources in APA format, using in-text citations and references.
In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the Assignment, a
successful paper must also meet the following criteria:
Length of the paper should be 750 - 1,000 words, excluding
cover page and references.
Viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and
sustained.
Assignment should follow the conventions of Standard
American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.).
Writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as
original and insightful.
Your work should display superior content, organization, style,
and mechanics.
Appropriate citation style should be followed.

Unit 6 Assignment Death Penalty Retributivist v. Utilitarian Theor.docx

  • 1. Unit 6 Assignment: Death Penalty: Retributivist v. Utilitarian Theories In this assignment, imagine that your state legislature is considering repealing its death penalty and the legislators wish to hear the opinions of the top legal philosophers on both sides of the death penalty debate - imagine yourself as a modern day Jeremy Bentham and present three utilitarian arguments against the death penalty and therefore in favor of its repeal. Then, step into the shoes of a modern day Immanuel Kant and present to the legislature three retributivist arguments in favor of the death penalty and therefore, in opposition to its repeal. For each side of the debate, present each argument in detail, using headings and subheadings to keep your paper well-organized so that it will serve as a useful resource for your state legislators to be able to clearly grasp the key arguments on both sides. Include at least two examples to illustrate the arguments on each side. In addition, the state legislators would like to hear your assessment of which theory of punishment, utilitarian or retributivist, you find most persuasive. Compare the persuasiveness of the two theories and provide a recommendation of which theory the legislators should follow (utilitarian for repeal of the state’s death penalty or retributivist for retention of the state’s death penalty). Supplement your discussion with material from at least two sources other than the textbook (Chapter 4 of the Murphy textbook is an excellent starting point). Be sure to cite your sources in APA format, using in-text citations and references. In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the Assignment, a successful paper must also meet the following criteria: Length of the paper should be 750 - 1,000 words, excluding cover page and references. Viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained. Assignment should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.).
  • 2. Writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics. Appropriate citation style should be followed.
