While debate over capital punishment will never end, America seems to be at a crossroads in determining if the use of government sanctioned execution can be employed fairly and efficiently with a positive impact on the greater good. Respected for his evenhanded contributions to the death penalty debate, Robert Bohm calls upon the most poignant experts in this field who address legal, empirical, political, and philosophical aspects of capital punishment as they are manifesting themselves today. The book shapes the debate by presenting a perspective wrapped in the current mindset and concerns of society. It then discusses death penalty commissions and national surveys, and addresses consensual executions, as well as the current controversy over lethal injection. The book also looks at lynching, compensations for wrongful executions, historic executions, and discusses how to identify and address the errors made in capital cases.
Respected for his evenhanded contributions to the death penalty debate, editor Robert Bohm calls upon experts to address legal, empirical, political, and philosophical aspects of capital punishment. The first of two sections focuses on miscarriages of justice, including errors in conviction and possible remedies. It reviews potential causes of wrongful conviction, considers the responsibility of the state for reintegration of the wrongfully convicted, and debates the humanity of lethal injections. The next section considers the first amendment and governmental accountability, reveals the phenomenon of consensual executions as assisted suicide, and evaluates the curious dichotomy in logic between the reviled practice of lynching and government-sanctioned executions.
