3. State/national level
4. A potential policy that is being considered to help a problem/issue that individuals/families face.
5. This affects families/individuals who currently face the death penalty. This policy will help determine at a national level what is accepted as a mentally ill suspect.
6. The death penalty is a controversial issue in many states as
well as abortion. It has been determined in different states what is acceptable
for a suspect to be considered a mentally ill. This requirement is met through
their personal IQ levels. This article suggests on there being a national
policy regarding the requirement of IQ levels to be considered for the death
penalty. Currently, in the state of
Florida it has been determined that the individual must not meet an IQ level of
70 or more. Mentally disabled individuals should not be punished with their
actions through the death penalty. Mentally disabled individuals should not be
punished for their actions because they are not responsible for the actions
they take. An IQ level should be determined by the Supreme Court as a
requirement for the states that do allow the death penalty. This will help save
many innocent lives that are on the verge of death row.
