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
