I. INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study

A. The Death Penalty is a penalty or sanctioned given to a person who is killed

by the state or by the country as a punishment for a crime.
B. The death penalty is a government sanction that could peace and order to our
country or a hindrance to the development of our country.
C. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, independent studies in
several states, including Oklahoma, reveal that capital punishment is actually
far more expensive to administer than life imprisonment. This is due in part
to the lengthy appeals process, which still sends innocent people to death
row on a fairly regular basis.

establishes certain exceptions, as when God authorizes killing by a general

incapacitation, and deterrence to the crime.
