Pragmatism

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

A pragmatist would likely support the death penalty in cases where there is undeniable evidence and the crime is particularly horrific. This approach balances the need for justice with the recognition that the death penalty is a serious and irreversible punishment. This stance is pragmatic because it takes into account the potential benefits of the death penalty, such as deterrence and retribution, while minimizing the risk of executing innocent people.

Agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

A pragmatist would be concerned about the risk of executing innocent people, as this is a serious and irreversible consequence. This concern would likely lead them to support measures to reduce the risk of wrongful convictions, such as improving the quality of legal representation and ensuring that evidence is thoroughly reviewed. However, this concern may not lead them to completely oppose the death penalty in all cases.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

A pragmatist might see some merit in the argument that life in prison is a harsher sentence than the death penalty, as it forces the convicted person to live with the consequences of their actions for the rest of their life. However, this stance would not be universally supported by pragmatists, as some may still see value in the death penalty for certain cases.

Neutral

No

As mentioned earlier, pragmatism is about finding practical solutions to problems. A pragmatist would not necessarily support or oppose the death penalty outright, but would instead consider the specific circumstances and consequences of its implementation.

Disagree

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

A pragmatist would likely disagree with the idea of allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment, as this could lead to emotional and potentially irrational decisions. Pragmatists believe in finding practical solutions based on evidence and reason, and allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment could undermine the fairness and objectivity of the justice system.
