Despite this, it is a relatively under-researched form of punishment and no meaningful attempt has been made to understand its full human rights implications. This important collection fills that gap by addressing these two key questions: what is life imprisonment and what human rights are relevant to it? These questions are explored from the perspective of a range of jurisdictions, in essays that draw on both empirical and doctrinal research. Under the editorship of two leading scholars in the field, this innovative and important work will be a landmark publication in the field of penal studies and human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45084859629719,"sku":"9781509902200","price":12764.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781509902200.webp?v=1767142773","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/life-imprisonment-and-human-rights-9781509902200","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
