The Influence of Public Opinion on the Application of the Death Penalty
Zuo Jianwei argues that despite the influence of public opinion in the application of capital punishment, media and policymakers play a greater role in the outcomes of judicial decisions. Zuo suggests that there is a difference between actual public opinion and portrayals of such circulating in the media. Actual public opinion ought to be treated seriously and cautiously when evaluating the legal and social effect of the application of the death penalty.
