P. Cornil, Chairman
European Committee on Crime Problems
Directorate of Legal Affairs
Council of Europe
Strasbourg, France
Dear Mr. Cornil:
I apologize for not having answered your letter at the time suggested. I was away from Santa Barbara on a long lecture tour which has interfered with my answering my mall.
My answer to your question is the following:
In my opinion, the death penalty does not have a place in contemporary society. I believe that we have now obtained enough insight into the motivations of actions of human beings to permit us to attack the problem of crime and punishment in a new way. I believe that the death penalty should be abolished.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
