This book contributes conceptually, theoretically and morally to a
deeper understanding of the distinctive Asian perceptions of
punishment, justice and human rights. Researched and prepared by
scholars who have not only been conducting studies on the death
penalty in the region but have also been advocating for legal
reforms, this edited book touches upon the different justifications
for the use of capital punishment in the ASEAN region, exposing the
secrecy, sensitivities and dilemmas that mask violations of
international human rights laws. The chapters bring in numerous new
perspectives which have been overlooked in the traditional
discourse surrounding the use of the death penalty, such as that
around crimes that do not meet the threshold of “most serious”;
the dignity of death row inmates and their families; contradictions
within religion and capital punishment; and the way in which
growing authoritarianism and the media are adversely influencing
the public’s perception and support for capital punishment in the
region. In examining how public opinion shapes state policies
towards the death penalty and how it varies according to different
offences and different states, the authors critically analyse how
the international human rights mechanisms have specifically called
for ASEAN member states to refrain from extending the application
of the death penalty and to limit it to the “most serious
crimes.” Relevant to socio-legal scholars focused on crime and
punishment in Southeast Asia, and in the Global South more broadly,
this is a landmark collection in criminology and human rights
scholarship. Chapter "ASEAN and the Death Penalty:
Theoretical and Legal Views and a Pathway to Abolition" is
