Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This is the completely revised and updated third edition of Roger Hood's classic study on the death penalty. In it he surveys and analyses the status of the death penalty as a punishment worldwide, taking into account the changes that have taken place during the six years since the last
edition was published. This new edition is especially valuable at a time when more and more countries are joining the movement to abolish the death penalty worldwide.
Review:
"Hood tackles a daunting topical charge with sweep and incisiveness...."--Criminal Law Forum
Review:
"'This work offers the reader comprehensive insight into the current use of the death penalty throughout the world...This book is both comprehensive and extremely informative and will appeal to students, researchers, and anyone else seeking knowledge on the current state of the death penalty around
the world."--Criminal Justice
