Descargar Libro: The Penalty Of Death

One of the founders of the field of criminology sums up a lifetime of work on the issue of capital punishment. He shows the fallacy of the arguments for the deterrent and retributive value of the death penalty. He argues cogently and passionately for the body of evidence showing that abolitionist states suffer no more capital crime than retentionist ones, and that retribution is neither swift, certain nor equitable. `This is an impressive book by an established American criminologist…A short review cannot do justice to the careful argument, backed up by detailed evidence, which is contained here. The book is readable and clear, and anyone interested in the subject should certainly refer to it. — Bramshill Journal
