Capital Punishment, also known as the death penalty, is used in the United States as a tactic to punish those who have convicted a crime. Personal political preferences often disclose what a person views or deems significant, likely indicating their support for capital punishment. In this paper, I aim to determine whether a particular political party supports capital punishment in more favor. Because of the many moral requirements and beliefs held by millions of Americans, it is necessary to address capital punishment and other forms of retribution for criminals. By analyzing the support of capital punishment based on political party, I can provide further knowledge and statistical data about the criminal justice system in the United States. To answer my research question, I gather data through a survey of a random sample of college students. The survey asks respondents about their support of the death penalty based on certain types of crimes, political party, and other factors that may influence support of the death penalty. I then analyze the survey data using multiple linear regression of the effect of political party on support for capital punishment. My results suggest that the political affiliation of respondents does not statistically impact their support of the death penalty. However, my results suggest that survey respondents support the death penalty more in instances of terrorism and sexual trafficking, which provides evidence on how the respondents view the death penalty.
