It would be helpful to understand not only whether differences exist on this topic between races and genders, but to further investigate why. One obvious reason that I would suspect that there would be a major racial divide is that man more African-Americans are sentenced to death than any other race. This would make me think that African-Americans would more likely be against capital punishment, but certainly we do not know until we run the numbers.
Why does this matter? Racial and gender division is a major issue in our society, and certainly we can see that there are inequalities that need to be addressed in the legal system especially. It is important to understand how the population perceives these things to determine where we should focus our efforts in education and public policy.
