Slavery, lynching and capital punishment were interwoven in the
United States and by the mid-twentieth century these connections
gave rise to a small but well-focused reform movement. Biased and
perfunctory procedures were replaced by prolonged trials and
appeals, which some found messy and meaningless; DNA profiling
clearly established innocent persons had been sentenced to death.
The debate over taking life to protect life continues; this book is
based on a hugely popular undergraduate course taught at the
University of Texas, and is ideal for those interested in criminal
justice, social problems, social inequality, and social movements.
This book is an excerpt from a larger text, Who Lives, Who Dies,
Who Decides?, http://www.routledge.com/9780415892476/
