| Overview: |
This page claims to be designed as a tool for learning. It also claims to provide information that empowers site visitors who are interested in reviewing, and critically thinking, about the issues. It is however a very one sided collection of anti-death penalty information. The first page openly states:
This site is an example of the effort to sway opinion. We are opposed to the death penalty and believe that those who take the time to understand the issues will join us in speaking out to end the death penalty.
This is a sub page of the author's main site, justicepolicy.com, where other controversial issues are presented in a similar manner.
However, the website provides an opportunity to think critically about the death penalty and issues regarding its use in the U.S. |
