Principles
NCADP is dedicated to the abolition of the death penalty, below are some of the reasons the organization believes in this doctrine:
1) Executions are carried out at a high cost to tax payers
2) Capital punishment does not deter crime
3) States cannot prevent execution of innocent people
4) Race plays a role in who lives and dies
5) Capital punishment is applied arbitrarily
6) The United States keeps company with the top human rights abusers as a country that employs executions
7) Poor legal representation is a persistent problem
8) Life without parole is an appropriate alternative to capital punishment
9) Capital punishment goes against almost every major religion
10) Millions of dollars could be diverted to helping the families of murder victims

Famous quotes containing the word principles:
“The principles of the good society call for a concern with an order of being—which cannot be proved existentially to the sense organs—where it matters supremely that the human person is inviolable, that reason shall regulate the will, that truth shall prevail over error.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“[E]very thing is useful which contributes to fix us in the principles and practice of virtue.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.”
—Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)
