Description
Drawing on interviews and statistical analysis, Kimberely Cook examines the range and combinations of public beliefs about abortion and the death penalty. Asking, for example, why some are against the right to choose abortion but simultaneously in favor of capital punishment, she finds that the level of punitiveness -- the desire to punish those perceived to violate ethical codes -- explains many such inconsistencies in public opinion.
