There is a distinct and vitally active move afoot in this country to do away with the death penalty - a movement generally headed up by social liberals in search of a "cause." And, as most polls show, those abolitionists are winning because most of America's vast "silent majority" is conceding the argument through inaction and default. Support for the death penalty is diminishing. "An Eye for an Eye: In Defense of the Death Penalty" is an attempt to overcome the ignorance and apathy that grows despite a series of recent studies that show the death penalty IS a deterrent to murder. "An Eye for an Eye" strives to preserve, protect, and defend the concept: For a crime there must be a punishment; the punishment must fit the crime - and for the ultimate crime there must be the ultimate punishment.
