Comparative Capital Punishment offers a set of in-depth, critical
and comparative contributions addressing death practices around the
world. Despite the dramatic decline of the death penalty in the
last half of the twentieth century, capital punishment remains in
force in a substantial number of countries around the globe. This
research handbook explores both the forces behind the stunning
recent rejection of the death penalty, as well as the changing
shape of capital practices where it is retained. The expert
contributors address the social, political, economic, and cultural
influences on both retention and abolition of the death penalty and
consider the distinctive possibilities and pathways to worldwide
abolition. Scholars in the fields of law, sociology, political
science and history, as well as human rights lawyers,
abolitionists, law makers and judges who wish to remain up-to-date
on changing death penalty practices will need Comparative Capital
Punishment on their reading list. Contributors include: S.L.
