Social Liberalism

Very strongly agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

One of the primary reasons social liberals oppose the death penalty is the concern that innocent people may be wrongfully convicted and executed. High-profile cases of wrongful convictions, such as the exoneration of the Central Park Five, have reinforced this concern and contributed to the growing opposition to the death penalty within social liberalism.

Strongly agree

No

Social liberalism typically opposes the death penalty due to concerns about wrongful convictions, the potential for rehabilitation, and the belief that the state should not have the power to take a life. For example, the Democratic Party, which is often associated with social liberalism, has increasingly moved towards opposing the death penalty in recent years.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Many social liberals believe that life imprisonment is a more appropriate punishment than the death penalty, as it allows for the possibility of rehabilitation and avoids the risk of executing an innocent person. This position is in line with the general opposition to the death penalty within social liberalism.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While social liberalism generally opposes the death penalty, some individuals within the ideology may support it in very limited circumstances, such as for particularly heinous crimes with undeniable evidence. However, this position is not representative of the majority of social liberals.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Social liberalism generally opposes the death penalty, as it emphasizes the protection of individual rights and the potential for rehabilitation. However, there may be some variation within the ideology, with a few individuals supporting it in limited circumstances.

Very strongly disagree

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

Social liberalism generally opposes the idea of allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment, as it goes against the principles of due process and the rule of law. Social liberals believe that the justice system should be impartial and not influenced by the emotions of those directly affected by the crime.
