Challenging Capital Punishment,v.24

After years of controversy, the death penalty debate remains both urgent and unresolved - presenting legal, moral, ethical and philosophical challenges. According to the editors of Challenging Capital Punishment, one of the most striking aspects of this debate is the persistence of myth and misinformation about capital punishment. Haas and Inciardi suggest that the debate needs to be conducted on the basis of scholarly analysis and scientific scrutiny. Accordingly, their volume brings together an impressive list of leading social scientists and legal scholars who assess the validity of objections to the death penalty.Haas, Kenneth C. is the author of 'Challenging Capital Punishment,v.24' with ISBN 9780803929098 and ISBN 0803929099.
