No Frames

At the dawn of the 21st century, the death penalty is considered by most civilized nations as a cruel and inhuman punishment. It has been abolished de jure or de facto by 106 nations, 30 countries have abolished it since 1990. However, the death penalty continues to be commonly applied in other nations. China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States and Iran are the most prolific executioners in the world. Indeed, the US is one of six countries (including also Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen) which executes people who were under 18 years-old at the time they committed their crimes. While international documents have restricted and in some cases even banned the death penalty, its application is still not against customary international law. Much debate continues in the US as to whether it constitutes an appropriate punishment, at least to the most heinous crimes. In recent years, the debate has been further fueled by the use of new technologies which have shown that a large proportion of people sentenced to death are, indeed, innocent.

    Suspect in Japanese school rampage wants death penalty
    Scenes in Osaka, Japan, on Friday after a man armed with a knife forced his way into a school and killed eight children TOKYO, Japan The man suspected of killing eight children and wounding 21 others in a knife attack at an elementary school has asked authorities to put him to death for his crimes. The 37-year-old suspect, who police said was a psychiatric patient and former employee of another school who lived in the area, told authorities he was on tranquilizers at the time of Friday's attack. He apparently had failed in several suicide attempts and told police he hoped to be executed. Authorities said the man jumped over a balcony at the Ikeda Elementary School in the Osaka district around 10:20 a.m. (9:20 p.m. ET Thursday) during a break in classes and stabbed several people, including students and teachers. Police said he used a kitchen knife with a 6-inch blade. Seven girls and one boy were killed. Most of the students were first- and second-graders at the private school.

    November 2002 - EduNet
    The Death Penalty Information Center, in conjunction with the Michigan State University Comm Tech Lab, has prepared Internet-based curriculum on capital punishment so that educators can bring this timely topic into the classroom. The tool uses capital punishment to teach students critical thinking skills, group decision making, persuasive writing and civic responsibility. Using exercises such as role-playing, written reports, quick-writes, learning journals and simulations, the curriculum engages students’ interests and allows them to thoughtfully consider the central issues concerning the death penalty. The curriculum also offers separate teacher ( http://teacher.deathpenaltyinfo.msu.edu ) and student ( http://deathpenaltyinfo.msu.edu ) Web sites, two 10-day lesson plans, teacher overviews and objectives that meet national standards. In addition, the curriculum available online has been used by the American Bar Association’s Division for Public Education as a resource for teachers and students. It has also been used as a Capital Punishment Education Program by teachers in Washington, D.C. Stephen R. Greenwald, president of Audrey Cohen College, said in a news release: “It’s a wonderful resource for teachers and students, and is especially useful in helping young people examine their own beliefs and begin to form an opinion on this issue.”

    Students Take Action to Abolish the Death Penalty by Alison Booth Wednesday, February 28 fell smack in the middle of Concord High School's mid-winter vacation. But at 2:30 p.m., a crowd of students emerged from the school and gathered in the driveway. Carrying signs saying "Don't Veto Forgiveness," "Execute Justice Not People," and "Vote Yes on HB 171," they lined up to march downtown. It had already been a long day, as most of the students had spent the whole morning at the high school, attending a conference on death penalty abolition. There was still a full afternoon of action ahead, and they were just getting warm. These activists were a part of the Student Day of Action Against the Death Penalty-a day-long event bringing youth together for learning, skills-building, and action to demand the passage of HB 171-FN, an act abolishing the death penalty in New Hampshire. The Day of Action was organized by New Hampshire Students Against the Death Penalty, and sponsored by AFSC with NH Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Amnesty International, and NH Social Justice Monthly. Forty students from a dozen high schools, home schools, and colleges participated in workshops, a march, lobbying, and a rally for abolition throughout the course of the day. The event began with a panel on "Why I Oppose the Death Penalty", featuring Renny Cushing of Murder Victim's Families for Reconciliation and lawyer Andru Volinsky. Renny explained MVFR's position that another murder never helped victim's families heal. Andy spoke from his experience defending capital cases in Tennessee, from which he concluded that there is no fair and just way to implement capital punishment. Then students chose between workshops on "The Case Against the Death Penalty," "Holding Productive Discussions on the Death Penalty," and "The U.S. Criminal Justice System."

    Team: Matt Leach, Deon Foster, Pete Maziak, Laura Portwood-Stacer The death penalty in the United States has always been a controversial issue and recent developments concerning the death penalty have once again made an appearance in the public sphere. The purpose of this curriculum is to encourage civic participation, critical thinking and the development of research skills among students utilizing a topic of current interest. This Web site and its accompanying materials are designed to assist both teachers and students in an exploration of capital punishment, arguments for and against its use, as well as issues of ethics and justice that surround it. The authors of the curriculum have made every effort to ensure that the educational approach is balanced, respecting the views of all sides in this often-spirited debate. The sites were principally designed by the Michigan State Communication Technology Laboratory. Parallel site structures for teachers and students allowed us to optimize the content for ease of use in the classroom. Teacher educators in conjunction with practicing teachers, in the fields of social studies, history and religion, worked together to develop the curriculum. Factual content was provided by the Death Penalty Information Center, a non-profit organization that conducts research on issues related to capital punishment. The Center utilized a broad spectrum of case decisions, news accounts, books, and scholarly journals in assembling the content. Funding for the project was provided by grants from the Soros Foundation and the Columbia Foundation.

    Teaching about Due Process of the Law QUESTIONS 1. Can the government do that?
    The scenario poses a range of takings and intrusions, from minor to extremely serious. The key point of the lesson is that the government can only deprive a person of life, liberty or property in accordance with due process of law. That begs the question, "What is due process of law?" Distilled to its essence, due process requires notice and an opportunity to be heard. Stated another way, due process means that the government must indicate some justification or cause for its actions and must give attention to and take seriously the response or position of the person being affected. The starting point of due process analysis in each of the above situations, then, is to identify the government's authority or reasons for its actions. In each of the instances in "Bill's Bad Day,"

    New Hampshire Students Protest Death Penalty
    Thursday, March 1, 2001, Concord Monitor By AMANDA PARRY Monitor Staff CONCORD-A group of 30 students marched down Main Street toward the State House yesterday carrying hand-lettered signs on sticks, that read, "The death penalty is a hate crime" and "Don't Kill For Me." Two security officers watched from a window in the foyer of the State House. "All we are saying, is give peace a chance," one of them sang softly, and both laughed. The small group couldn't expect to win respect right away. Not from an institution that has seen more protests than yesterday's protestors have seen sunsets. But dealing with a less than receptive audience was all part of the experience. Learning how to take a stand and become active in the political arena was the focus of a day-long event sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee, the New Hampshire Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and Amnesty International. The topic of protest was not picked at random. Supporters of a bill to abolish the death penalty, which was vetoed last spring by Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, have pushed for a repeal. Organizers, who included college and high school students, said they thought students should be involved. Getting the word out and helping students mobilize was the next logical step.

In an effort to educate local high school seniors about the potential pitfalls and realities of adulthood, the Washoe County Bar Association is hosting a seminar at The National Judicial College in conjunction with National Law Day. The event, entitled “Coming of Age in Nevada: Sex, Drugs and Money in Today’s Adult World,” begins at 1:30 p.m. on May 13. The event will focus on several major topics consisting of substance abuse and mental illness, sex, money and credit. The idea of the program is to provide information to the students that relates to their change in legal status when they turn 18. This year’s event will explore critical problems for new adults as well as give the participants the opportunity to share their own experiences. Students will also be asked to prepare an action plan outlining future plans to avoid potential perils.
