Florida is a national leader in capital punishment and has been for decades. It houses the largest death row population in the country for states that continue executions and is one of only a handful of states that completes executions. As of August 7, 2023, Florida houses 291 people on death row and has completed five executions in 2023. This two-credit, synchronous virtual course will provide an overview of capital punishment in Florida, focusing on how a sentence of death may be imposed and the constitutional issues involved in capital sentencing. The grade will be based on (1) two written reflection assignments throughout the semester where students will be asked to write 1-3 pages in response to the reading, and (2) a final writing assignment where students will submit a 10-page written response to an essay prompt that incorporates the course material.
