This revised and updated Second Edition is an innovative, balanced, and comprehensive overview of capital punishment. It offers an unbiased examination of the death penalty, supported by statistics and Supreme Court cases, and followed by pro and con discussions. The book addresses every major issue relating to the death penalty including deterrence, racial impact, arbitrariness, its use on special populations, and methods of execution. Designed for the undergraduate and graduate level courses on the death penalty and capital punishment, and even ethics and law, this text challenges students to evaluate their beliefs and assumptions on each of the various issues surrounding this controversial subject. Each chapter begins with a primer of the issue to be discussed, followed by the data and critical documents necessary to make an educated assessment, and concludes with essays that offer differing viewpoints by some of the best minds in the country. New Material added to the Second Edition: *NEW updated data on deterrence *NEW data and articles on brutalization and cost *NEW cases and articles on the death penalty for juveniles *NEW case and articles on the death penalty for raping a child *NEW chapter on methods of execution

Mandery, Evan J.: - A former attorney, Professor Mandery has written and taught about the death penalty for the past four years.
