Justice, Civilization, and the Death Penalty:

Abstract

Reiman’s second premise: “Anyone contemplating committing a crime already faces a substantial risk of ending up dead as a result [of armed police or armed private citizens]” (146-7). Reiman’s third premise: “The refusal to execute...also teaches a lesson about the wrongfulness of murder” (147). Philosophy 120 – University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire J. Beauchaine, J. Bresina, S.
