The Deterrent Effect of Capital Punishment: New Evidence on an Old Controversy
What is it's purpose?
The purpose of David P Phillips' analysis of the Death Penalty is to provide a well-rounded depiction of both sides of the national debate in the constitutionality and morality of the issue. This article strives to determine the benefits of the Death Penalty in both long term and short term time frames, in order to refute the Death Penalty as a permanent solution to criminal punishment.
What kinds of sources does it cite?
Phillips' article cites other scholarly studies, and counterarguments from intellectuals analyzing the same topic. This article utilizes legal materials, as well as editorial-style research (from scholars) in order to provide a complete understanding of the topic to the reader. Direct quotations from the other researchers establish credibility stemming from accurate evidence accepted by the public on modern debates over the Death Penalty.
Who is the author?
The author is David P Phllips who is a scholarly author for the American Journal of Sociology. His article was published by the University of Chicago Press.
Who is the intended audience?
Phillips strives to educate other like-minded individuals seeking a deeper understanding of the debate between the morality and long-term benefits of the Death Penalty. Although the author's analysis is extensive, he assumes his readers have a basic knowledge and opinion of the issue at hand.
How did I find it?
I utilized google scholar and read the headlines that appeared to support the other popular sources I found for my controversial analysis of the Death Penalty.

This article sites various University (scholarly) studies, research, and individual assertions from other intellectuals offering insight on the controversy over the Death Penalty. Psychological studies are also cited in order to provide basic understandings and insight of natural human function, and a brain's tendency to form opinions (and express them) based on controversial issues.

Who is the intended audience?
Readers searching for insights on natural human tendencies, or new perspectives evaluating the debate over the Death Penalty are Poveda's intended audience.
How did I find it?
I found this article through Google Scholar. I was attracted to the interesting binary contrast of "American Exceptionalism" and the Death Penalty. I believe this research will serve juxtaposing evidence that will create multi-faceted arguments within my personal analysis of the morality and constitutionality of the Death Penalty.
