Discovering Forgiveness in Executing Justice Through Capital Punishment

Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Ministry , Ashland University, Doctor of Ministry Program.
The purpose of this project is to discover how forgiveness contributes to the feeling of resolution among murder victim families and inmates convicted of murder in the state of Ohio. A survey of family members of murder victims and men on Death Row found both groups understand the value of forgiveness to overcome the pain of loss and agony of bitterness. The survey also found that two in three respondents would consider meeting with the murderer or victims, and seven in ten said they believed they could forgive the killer without forgetting the victims.
