Question

How would each perspective on criminal justice view the use of death penalty as a sanction for first degree murder?

Answer 1

First degree murder convictions typically draw the harshest sentences of any crime. As with the elements of the crime and defenses available, sentencing can vary from state to state. [ Possible sentences are outlined in state statutes, with courts deciding, sometimes within strict statutory guidelines, which sentence a convicted murderer will receive based on the facts determined in the case. ]
