Against Capital Punishment

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Against Capital Punishment develops an innovative argument against the death penalty that sidesteps questions about the morality of execution itself. Yost argues that the irrevocability of the death penalty calls for its abolition. In so doing, he explores the extent of legal institutions' responsibility to remedy their mistakes and solves the problems that sabotage other versions of procedural abolitionism
