Firstly I think we should give the convicted a chance to "pay-back" society. Abolitionists believe that the wrongdoer's should be made to compensate the victim's family with the offender's own income from employment or community service. I dare say that the criminal can achieve more alive than dead. By working, the criminal "pays back" society and also their victim or the victim's family. There is no reason for the criminal to receive any compensation for his work. Money does not play a strong role in jail. One of the most well known examples of the criminal contributing to the improvement of society is the case of Leopold and Loeb.

Together, they both achieved things such as working at hospitals, teaching illiterates to read, creating a correspondence school, making large important developments in the World War II Malaria Project as well as writing a grammar book. "An inestimable amount of people were directly helped by Leopold and Loeb; both of them making a conscious commitment to atone by serving others."

Most passion crimes are committed in the heat of the moment. These crimes are committed when the offenders are battling great emotional stress or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In these cases, violence is inflicted by people who don't think about the consequences to themselves as well as to others.
