Thesis Statement
"Men are from vengence" by William Saletan presents a contrast between how men and women percieve crime and punnishment by using an easy to follow, repetitive format that makes it easy to digest the facts. Men do tend to feel a harsh punishment is the correct path to follow when women tend to lean the other direction and feel empethy for person being judged. In some cases men did feel more lenient but still wanted justice. The Hart poll is about criminals up for the death-sentence and how they would have to take a blood test to ensure they are actually guilty, but would not ensure the quality of the defending lawers. 60% of women thought it wasn’t enough when 50% of men agreed. In this poll women wanted to save the provable innocent which shows his point that men wanted a more harsh punishment.
