Hidden Victims

The Effects of the Death Penalty on Families of the Accused

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the US, murderers, particularly those sentenced to death, are usually considered as entirely different from the rest of us. Sociologist Susan F. Sharp challenges perspective by reminding us that those facing a death sentence, in addition to being murderers, are brothers or sisters, mothers or fathers, daughters or sons.
