Description: Our age of violence is no time to remove the Death Penalty, right? NO ON 17 says, consider a minute.. Author: [CAPITAL PUNISHMENT] MIDPENINSULA Coalition Against 17 Title: Our age of violence is no time to remove the Death Penalty, right? NO ON 17 says, consider a minute.. Publication: Menlo Park, CA: Midpeninsula Coalition Against 17, (1972) Description: Leaflet. Single 14" x 11" sheet folded in four to make eight panels; folded dimensions 4-1/4" x 7". Fine. Campaign leaflet issued in opposition to California's Proposition 17, a 1972 ballot measure that restored the death penalty in the state. The text reviews the language of the Proposition, then offers counterarguments to six common points raised in favor of capital punishment. The Prop 17 referendum had been spurred by a court decision earlier in 1972 (People v. Anderson) that had ruled the death penalty illegal under California's constitution. Despite organized opposition by religious groups and civil libertarians, Prop 17 passed in November 1972 with more than 60% of the vote, restoring the death penalty.
