Countering Pro-Death Penalty Attitudes
No full textThe death penalty has been an exigent issue in today’s prison reform efforts. In this study, we tested two methods of changing people’s minds about the death penalty to see which resulted in greater change of pro-death penalty attitudes. We tested the innocent-risk argument which asserts that there is a risk of killing an innocent person through the use of the death penalty. We also tested the deterrence-risk argument which asserts that the death penalty is not an effective deterrent. Through a randomized between-subjects design with a control condition, we found that the innocent-risk condition was more likely to decrease pro-death penalty attitudes.Open Restriction set for Item 115352 on 2020-07-09T22:46:58Z with date null by [email protected] by Michael Tahmasian ([email protected]) on 2020-07-09T22:55:41Z

Recovery through contradiction?
No full textWith this new drug strategy, the circle has turned. It was a Conservative government
that introduced the first drug strategy, Tackling Drugs Together, in 1995. This aimed
to reduce drug related crime, protect young people and reduce health harms by
discouraging drug use. It was criticised at the time for having unrealistic, intangible
aims and for not providing the necessary funding. New Labour’s strategies introduced
increasingly specific targets and massively expanded the funding of treatment. This
new Coalition strategy has no targets and provides no new funding
