Jeff Sadow on why the death penalty saves more lives than it takes

LSU Shreveport

Political Scientist Jeff Sadow, professor at LSU-Shreveport and columnist for the Advocate, discusses his contention that Louisiana needs to preserve the death penalty.

Senator Dan Claitor is sponsoring legislation to abolish capital punishment in our state. Earlier on this program, Claitor said the death penalty is too expensive and is not an efficient means of thwarting crime in society.

Professor Sadow argued in his column last Sunday in the Advocate that the death penalty saves more lives than those taken.
