     some jurisdictions acknowledge, as a matter of positive law, the relevance of evil to capital punishment. at one point, the state of florida counted that the fact that a murderer’s crime was “especially wicked, evil, atrocious or cruel” as an aggravating factor for purposes of capital sentencing. i submit that florida may be onto something. i consider a thesis about capital punishment that strikes me as plausible on its face: if capital punishment is ever morally permissible, it is permissible as a response to evil. call this the punishment as a response to evilthesis, or pre. if capital punishment is not morally permissible as a response to evil, then, according to pre, it is not morally permissible, period. pre admits of at least two different readings: on the first, if capital punishment is ever morally justified it is justified as a punishment for evil crimes; on the second, if capital punishment is ever morally justified it is justified as a punishment for evil people. while this first version of pre has found advocates in both philosophy and forensic psychiatry, i argue against this first reading of pre and for the second. to secure this conclusion i appeal to an account of evil and evil personhood that i have developed elsewhere.
