an annotated bibliography from this week’s Assignment. The article must be one you selected in the Week 4 Discussion that is relevant to the gap you identified.
When searching for articles, I used ProQuest and Google Scholar since these two databases contain a lot of peer-reviewed articles that are suitable for this task. The databases are also free to access, which was essential in identifying what is ideal for this task. The keywords I used were “effects of the death penalty in America.” When choosing articles, I chose the ones which appealed to me and were related to the program I am currently taking. The goal was to understand the death penalty from different aspects, which few people do.
The keywords I used in my paper were “effects of the death penalty in America.” This phrase was used to search for articles in ProQuest and Google Scholar. The goal was to locate articles that explain the death penalty from different aspects, which not many people do. The keywords were chosen to help narrow the search and identify the most relevant articles to answer the research question. The articles I chose discussed topics such as racism and racial inequality, the racial split and gender disparity in death penalty support, the impact of the death sentence on the accused’s relatives and loved ones, the state of the death penalty, and the effect of wrongful conviction rate on death penalty support.
The gap I identified is the lack of knowledge and understanding of the death penalty from different aspects. The articles I chose discussed topics such as racism and racial inequality, the racial split and gender disparity in death penalty support, the impact of the death sentence on the accused’s relatives and loved ones, the state of the death penalty, and the effect of wrongful conviction rate on death penalty support. These topics are often overlooked when discussing the death penalty, and it is important to understand them to have an informed conversation about the practice.
It is a true gap because these topics are often overlooked when discussing the death penalty. Understanding the different aspects of the death penalty is essential to have an informed conversation about the practice. The articles I chose provided a different perspective on the death penalty, one that is often not discussed. These perspectives are essential to consider when debating the death penalty.
