N2  - Extant research on the demographic correlates of capital punishment opinion has separately analyzed race, gender, and class. Intersectionality has shown a flaw of this approach is that these characteristics overlap and interact to shape people's identities and opinions. Using data from the Cumulative File of the General Social Survey (1972-2016), we regressed capital punishment opinion on respondents' race, gender, and class intersections. <br><br>FINDINGS show wide variation in opposition to capital punishment. Implications of the findings, including the superiority of the intersectional approach, are discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
