Gah. (Criminology)
I'm supposed to get one of you guys not taking Criminology to rate these crimes, from the man who deserves the greatest punishment, to the least:
* A rich man who kills another rich man for a large sum of money to provide more for his family (greed)
* A poor man who kills a rich man for a small sum of money to provide more for his family (perceived necessity)
* A man who kills another man because that man hurt a member of his family (retribution)
* A man who kills another man because he catches that man in bed with his wife (rage)
* A man who kills another man because they are from different sociological groups (prejudice)
* A man who kills another man for the enjoyment of killing (thrill)
The handout says, "Assume that all the men intended to kill their victims, understood their crimes, and there are no other mitigating factors. If the person you question believes they should all receive the same punishment (life in jail, execution, etc.) please ask them to rank them anyway if they would."
I hate assignments that make you pass the work on to your friends. Um, sorry? I'll give whoever does this for me cookies.
Edit: The cookies go to 12parseckessel. No need for anyone else to comment (though thanks to blueskin_mystiq anyhow.)
