According to Professor Baumgartner and His Colleagues, Aggregate Change in Death

question 25

True/False

According to Professor Baumgartner and his colleagues, aggregate change in death penalty opinion is a slow process for two reasons. First, the death penalty is not a salient issue for most people; discussions about the death penalty are not in the news very often, and the death penalty does not directly affect the lives of most Americans. Second, Americans' views on the death penalty are closely tied to their moral and religious beliefs, and those beliefs do not change much over time.
