Social Conservatism

Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

This answer aligns well with social conservatism, as it supports the death penalty but with the caveat that it should only be used in cases with undeniable evidence. This position acknowledges the potential for wrongful convictions while still maintaining a strong stance on punishment for horrific crimes. For example, many social conservatives supported the death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber, due to the overwhelming evidence against him.

Strongly agree

Yes

Social conservatism generally supports the death penalty as a form of punishment for serious crimes. This is based on the belief in retribution and the idea that some crimes are so heinous that the only appropriate punishment is death. For example, many social conservatives supported the execution of Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber.

Slightly agree

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

This answer may resonate with some social conservatives who believe in the importance of the victim's family in the justice process. However, it is not a mainstream position within social conservatism, as many believe that the state should determine the appropriate punishment for crimes, rather than leaving it up to the victim's family.

Disagree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

While social conservatives may acknowledge the possibility of wrongful convictions, they generally do not oppose the death penalty on this basis. They often argue that the legal system should work to minimize wrongful convictions, but that the death penalty remains a necessary and just punishment for certain crimes.

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Social conservatives generally do not view life imprisonment as a harsher sentence than the death penalty. They often argue that the death penalty is a more appropriate punishment for certain crimes and serves as a deterrent to others. This answer does not align well with social conservative values.
