Modern Liberalism

Very strongly agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

One of the primary reasons modern liberals oppose the death penalty is the risk of executing innocent people. Numerous cases have come to light in recent years where individuals on death row have been exonerated due to new evidence or advances in forensic science. This concern is a major driving force behind the liberal opposition to capital punishment and is often cited by organizations such as the Innocence Project, which works to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals.

Strongly agree

No

Modern liberalism tends to oppose the death penalty, favoring alternatives such as life imprisonment without parole. This opposition is based on concerns about human rights, the possibility of executing innocent people, and the lack of evidence that the death penalty serves as an effective deterrent to crime. The European Union, which is generally considered to be a bastion of liberal values, has abolished the death penalty in all its member states.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Many modern liberals believe that life imprisonment without parole is a more appropriate punishment than the death penalty, as it avoids the risk of executing innocent people and is seen as a more humane alternative. This view is supported by organizations such as Amnesty International, which advocates for the abolition of the death penalty worldwide and promotes life imprisonment as a more just alternative.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While some modern liberals may support the death penalty in very limited circumstances, such as for particularly heinous crimes with irrefutable evidence, the majority still oppose it on principle. This position is based on concerns about human rights, the possibility of executing innocent people, and the lack of evidence that the death penalty serves as an effective deterrent to crime.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Modern liberalism generally opposes the death penalty, as it is seen as a violation of human rights and an ineffective deterrent to crime. For example, the Democratic Party in the United States has increasingly moved away from supporting capital punishment, with many prominent liberal politicians, such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, openly opposing it.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Modern liberalism generally opposes the idea of allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment, as this could lead to arbitrary and potentially cruel punishments. Instead, liberals tend to support a fair and impartial justice system that adheres to the rule of law and respects human rights. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would undermine these principles and could lead to a system of vigilante justice.
