Description
"More than 30 years alter the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty, it is still plagued with egregious problems. Issues of wrongful conviction, inhumane practices, and its efficacy as a deterrent are hotly debated topics. As of August 2007, two-thirds of the world's countries have abolished the death penalty. Today, the US falls alongside Iran, lraq, Sudan, China, and Pakistan as countries that continue to believe the death penalty is a necessary and productive practice." "With lucid arguments supported by verifiable statistics and export opinion, The Death Penalty Today provides a sober look at the death penalty in the US and begs the question of when, not if, the US will join the majority of the civilized world in its abolition."--book jacket.
