This volume brings together seven experts-judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and philosophers-to debate the death penalty in a spirit of open inquiry and civil discussion. Here, as the contributors present their reasons for or against capital punishment, the multiple facets of the issue are revealed in clear and thought- provoking detail. Is the death penalty a viable deterrent to future crimes? Does the legal system discriminate against poor or minority defendants? In confronting such questions and making their arguments, the contributors marshal an impressive array of evidence, culled both from statistics and from their own experiences working on death penalty cases.0 aDebating the Death Penalty  a06391/MKRI-P/X-2007  a06391/MKRI-P/X-2007
