After an overview of how movements to abolish the death penalty have developed in various countries, we will hold an interactive discussion on whether the death penalty should be abolished, going through the main arguments and evidence of both camps one by one. For example: does the death penalty deter criminals? Does the death penalty violate the Kantian principle of treating people as ends in themselves?
