someone in her speech was talking about. She does this to remind them that Christ himself came

and the call for a return to the death penalty is back with a vengeance. The costs to us as
Actually, there is good reason why we ignore victims and focus instead on more punishment for
offenders. It has to do with our very definitions of what constitutes crime and what justice
entails.
