At its recent Executive Com- mittee meeting, the Jewish Community Council adopted a policy in opposition to capital punishment. In announcing the position, Fred L. Goldenberg, Council's Community Relations Commit- tee chairman, called attention to petition drives being conducted to place the issue of capital punishment in Michigan on the ballot in November. The Council statement said: of different races and economic status. "In many cases, mandatory capital punishment defeats its own purpose; by making juries reluctant to convict defendants of crimes for which death is the certain sentence; inducing pro- secutors to indict for lesser of- fenses rather than run the risk of acquittal on capital charges; etc. "In light of the above facts, the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Detroit: "We regard th& taking of human life by authority of law as barbaric, and repugnant to the Jewish regard for the sanc- tity of human life. "We agree with the 1973 Sup- reme Court decision in Furman V. Georgia, which concluded that capital punishment is not a deterrent to crime. Studies have shown that in contiguous states with similar demographic pat- terns, crime rates do not differ significantly between those states that provide for the death penalty and those states that do not. "Where discretionary, the death penalty often is imposed differently upon convicted felons • stands opposed to the death penalty, and in particular op- poses legislation which would reinstate capital punishment in Michigan; • proposes to disseminate the Council position publicly in suitable contexts; • urges members of the Jewish community in the De- troit area to continue to openly express their opposition to the death penalty, • supports the work of the in- terfaith and community-wide coalitions in opposition to capital of reinstatement punishment in Michigan."
