“Do We Need the Death Penalty?”

Robert M. Bohm, Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Central Florida; fellow of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences

Monday, April 4, 2011 at 7 p.m.
Smith Recital Hall, Silver Center for the Arts

Research shows that most people have a definite opinion about the death penalty, even though they know little about it. Moreover, for many people who think they know about the death penalty, what they know is often inaccurate. Bohm’s lecture will address the many reasons given in support of the death penalty, the evidence that contradicts those reasons, and why those reasons do not justify the continued use of the death penalty in the United States.

All Sidore lectures are free and open to the public, but reservations are recommended. A reception follows each lecture. Lectures are presented in the Smith Recital Hall in the Silver Center for the Arts, unless otherwise noted.

For reservations or to arrange special accommodations, call (603) 535-ARTS.
