- Fear, Authority, and Justice: Crime-Related Tv Viewing and Endorsements of Capital Punishment and Gun Ownership
We focus on the relationships among three types of television viewing (news, police reality, and crime drama) and attitudes toward capital punishment and handguns, as well as the likelihood of actually owning a handgun. A host of exogenous variables are treated as predictors of television use, support for police authority, fear of crime, and our criterion variables. A series of direct and indirect relationships are assessed. Analysis suggests that viewing police reality shows is both directly and indirectly related to the endorsement of capital punishment and handgun ownership, while also directly predicting a greater likelihood of actual handgun ownership.

For anyone not familiar with the outstanding contributions he has made, Death by Design will provide fascinating insights into the myriad psychological pressures that help perpetuate the death penalty, and the elegant research designs used to amass social-science evidence of how capital punishment actually operates. Haney discusses research showing that the media is saturated with crime stories which foster fear of crime and support for tough policies, including the death penalty; emphasizes the dangers of crime, even when crime rates are falling; and focuses on die heinous acts of offenders without explaining how poverty, discrimination, and histories of abuse often lead to crime.

- The Impact of Capital Punishment On Families of Defendants and Murder Victims' Family Members
King examines . For the murder victims' family members, the death penalty establishes a hierarchy of victims where some lives are valued more than others. The families of the condemned are traumatized by the process and feel ostracized and alienated as they watch their government systematically prepare to kill their loved one. And worst of all, the death penalty teaches people, especially children, that killing is an acceptable way to solve problems.
