What is Capital Punishment (LIBRARY IN A BOOK) about?

"Capital punishment has been part of criminal justice systems since the earliest times. Because American ideas of justice are rooted in a long tradition of Western jurisprudence, Flanders opens with a history of the death penalty that sets the idea in its historical context. Then he discusses the present-day criminal justice system, and the issues of law that have entered into the use of capital punishment. The debate over capital punishment, including the religious issues, is then outlined, and the first half of the book concludes with a discussion of capital punishment throughout the world, and what future developments are likely." "The second half of the book provides the essential research tools: an annotated bibliography; lists of organizations and associations; compilation of state laws; listing of executions since 1930; and Executions by state since 1976 when the Supreme Court reinstituted the death penalty."--BOOK JACKET. <p>Reviews the history and current status of the death penalty in the U.S., focusing on the legal and ethical issues of its use by the criminal justice system. </p>
