Abstract

Introduction: The laws of CAPITAL PUNISHMENT have been one of the foremost and controversial subjects among industrial countries in the last decades; politicians in many of these countries have been forced to reconsider these laws. All European countries have abolished exercising CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. These criminal and murderers are not executed anymore. The exertion of it is considered violation of human right laws. Nevertheless, these are still many countries that exercise death penalty in their laws for religious and political reasons. There are two main presumptions for this punishment, each bring some reasons and documentation. Some believe that CAPITAL PUNISHMENT is preventive of crime and some believe it has no effect of crime reduction. The purpose of this research is to know the ATTITUDEs of educated and intellectuals concerning this kind of punishment in Iran. Besides which crimes do they believe deserving CAPITAL PUNISHMENT?Method: For this purpose 342 STUDENTs and 43 FACULTY MEMBERS from shahid Beheshti University were chosen from different field of study by random sampling. A researcher made questionnaire with 38 questions was given to the sample. The questionnaire was approved by three research methods professors with acceptable reliability and validity (cronbach alpha 82%).Findings: Research results showed that most of the sample approved CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (69/6% of the STUDENTs and 48/8% of FACULTY MEMBERS), and both groups disapproved the abolition of CAPITAL PUNISHMENT in the whole. But, the difference in ATTITUDE between the two groups was significant. The results also showed significant difference between male and female STUDENTs. That is to say, female STUDENTs were more in favor of CAPITAL PUNISHMENT than male STUDENTs. But between male and female FACULTY MEMBERS this correlation was not significant.conclusion: The result of this study shows that vulnerable groups are more interested in dismissing people who are careless of social rights of others and violate the rights of defenseless people. The findings of this research are consistent with the findings of Thomas Kale and Vito Jenero (1998) and Marla Sandees and Edmond McGarel (1995).
