I'm doing some reasearch for my sociology class and need some help

I'm doing a report on the link between support for the death penalty and education.

I need a control variable. Could I use something like a persons sex?

No, I think income. The first thing that's going to come to an analyst's mind is that the link might be between income and support rather than education and support. You might also consider residence area.
